Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7231,1719 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7231,1719 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 181684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/181684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7231/212,1719/857 is 1/181684
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 212,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(212,857) = ( 212 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(212,857) = 181684 / 1
LCM(212,857) = 181684
