Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8478,8212 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8478,8212 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 262,827
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 216674
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/216674
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8478/262,8212/827 is 2/216674
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 262,827 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(262,827) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(262,827) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(262,827) = ( 262 × 827 ) / 1
LCM(262,827) = 216674 / 1
LCM(262,827) = 216674
