Lets's calculate LCM of 212,316
2 | 212, 316 |
2 | 106, 158 |
53, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 53 x 79 = 16748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3260/212,1271/316 is 1/16748
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 212,316 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,316) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,316) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(212,316) = ( 212 × 316 ) / 4
LCM(212,316) = 66992 / 4
LCM(212,316) = 16748
