Lets's calculate LCM of 217,478
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 103726
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/103726
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5141/217,7148/478 is 1/103726
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 217,478 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,478) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,478) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,478) = ( 217 × 478 ) / 1
LCM(217,478) = 103726 / 1
LCM(217,478) = 103726
