Lets's calculate LCM of 712,457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 325384
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/325384
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/712,126/457 is 18/325384
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 712,457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(712,457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(712,457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(712,457) = ( 712 × 457 ) / 1
LCM(712,457) = 325384 / 1
LCM(712,457) = 325384
