1,3217
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4991,3217 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4991,3217 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 842,218
2 | 842, 218 |
421, 109 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 421 x 109 = 91778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/91778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4991/842,3217/218 is 1/91778
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 842,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,218) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,218) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(842,218) = ( 842 × 218 ) / 2
LCM(842,218) = 183556 / 2
LCM(842,218) = 91778
