So the greatest common factor 572,998 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 214,474
2 | 214, 474 |
107, 237 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 107 x 237 = 50718
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/50718
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 572/214,998/474 is 2/50718
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 214,474 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,474) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,474) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(214,474) = ( 214 × 474 ) / 2
LCM(214,474) = 101436 / 2
LCM(214,474) = 50718
