Lets's calculate LCM of 425,216
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 91800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/91800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 860/425,294/216 is 2/91800
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 425,216 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(425,216) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(425,216) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(425,216) = ( 425 × 216 ) / 1
LCM(425,216) = 91800 / 1
LCM(425,216) = 91800
