Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 64,5584 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 64,5584 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,2151
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 456012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/456012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 64/212,5584/2151 is 16/456012
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 212,2151 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,2151) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,2151) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(212,2151) = ( 212 × 2151 ) / 1
LCM(212,2151) = 456012 / 1
LCM(212,2151) = 456012
