Lets's calculate LCM of 214,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/67838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9966/214,3912/317 is 6/67838
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 214,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(214,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(214,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(214,317) = ( 214 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(214,317) = 67838 / 1
LCM(214,317) = 67838
