So the greatest common factor 481,5232 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 216,374
2 | 216, 374 |
108, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 108 x 187 = 40392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 481/216,5232/374 is 1/40392
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 216,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(216,374) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(216,374) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(216,374) = ( 216 × 374 ) / 2
LCM(216,374) = 80784 / 2
LCM(216,374) = 40392
