Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4462,8791 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4462,8791 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 214,187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40018
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40018
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4462/214,8791/187 is 1/40018
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 214,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(214,187) = ( 214 × 187 ) / 1
LCM(214,187) = 40018 / 1
LCM(214,187) = 40018
