Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 684,238 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 684,238 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,303
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 64236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/64236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 684/212,238/303 is 2/64236
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 212,303 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,303) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,303) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(212,303) = ( 212 × 303 ) / 1
LCM(212,303) = 64236 / 1
LCM(212,303) = 64236
