Lets's calculate LCM of 217,2412
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 523404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/523404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 723/217,5217/2412 is 3/523404
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 217,2412 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,2412) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,2412) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,2412) = ( 217 × 2412 ) / 1
LCM(217,2412) = 523404 / 1
LCM(217,2412) = 523404
