So the greatest common factor 216,624 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 440,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 427240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/427240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/440,624/971 is 24/427240
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 440,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(440,971) = ( 440 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(440,971) = 427240 / 1
LCM(440,971) = 427240
