Lets's calculate LCM of 218,999
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/217782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8146/218,2940/999 is 2/217782
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 218,999 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(218,999) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(218,999) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(218,999) = ( 218 × 999 ) / 1
LCM(218,999) = 217782 / 1
LCM(218,999) = 217782
