So the greatest common factor 5606,2712 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 213,5986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1275018
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1275018
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5606/213,2712/5986 is 2/1275018
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 213,5986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(213,5986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(213,5986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(213,5986) = ( 213 × 5986 ) / 1
LCM(213,5986) = 1275018 / 1
LCM(213,5986) = 1275018
