Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8388,6820 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8388,6820 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 251,211
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52961
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/52961
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8388/251,6820/211 is 4/52961
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 251,211 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(251,211) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(251,211) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(251,211) = ( 251 × 211 ) / 1
LCM(251,211) = 52961 / 1
LCM(251,211) = 52961
