So the greatest common factor 7214,2372 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 213,615
3 | 213, 615 |
71, 205 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 71 x 205 = 43665
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/43665
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7214/213,2372/615 is 2/43665
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 213,615 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(213,615) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(213,615) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(213,615) = ( 213 × 615 ) / 3
LCM(213,615) = 130995 / 3
LCM(213,615) = 43665
