Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8481,3507 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8481,3507 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 251,212
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 53212
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/53212
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8481/251,3507/212 is 3/53212
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 251,212 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(251,212) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(251,212) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(251,212) = ( 251 × 212 ) / 1
LCM(251,212) = 53212 / 1
LCM(251,212) = 53212
