Lets's calculate LCM of 212,285
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 60420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/60420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 868/212,1528/285 is 4/60420
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 212,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,285) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,285) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(212,285) = ( 212 × 285 ) / 1
LCM(212,285) = 60420 / 1
LCM(212,285) = 60420
