We found the factors 4201,2970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4201,2970 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 466,212
2 | 466, 212 |
233, 106 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 233 x 106 = 49396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/49396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4201/466,2970/212 is 1/49396
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 466,212 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(466,212) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(466,212) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(466,212) = ( 466 × 212 ) / 2
LCM(466,212) = 98792 / 2
LCM(466,212) = 49396
