Lets's calculate LCM of 214,885
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 189390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/189390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8656/214,5104/885 is 16/189390
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 214,885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,885) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(214,885) = ( 214 × 885 ) / 1
LCM(214,885) = 189390 / 1
LCM(214,885) = 189390
