Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 591,8668 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 591,8668 is 197.
Lets's calculate LCM of 213,212
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 197/45156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 591/213,8668/212 is 197/45156
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 213,212 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(213,212) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(213,212) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(213,212) = ( 213 × 212 ) / 1
LCM(213,212) = 45156 / 1
LCM(213,212) = 45156
