:1,3,9,27,73,219,657,1971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 996,1971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 996,1971 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 211,894
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 188634
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/188634
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 996/211,1971/894 is 3/188634
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 211,894 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(211,894) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(211,894) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(211,894) = ( 211 × 894 ) / 1
LCM(211,894) = 188634 / 1
LCM(211,894) = 188634
