Lets's calculate LCM of 214,158
2 | 214, 158 |
107, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 107 x 79 = 16906
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/16906
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8921/214,4389/158 is 11/16906
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 214,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,158) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,158) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(214,158) = ( 214 × 158 ) / 2
LCM(214,158) = 33812 / 2
LCM(214,158) = 16906
