Lets's calculate LCM of 565,729
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 411885
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/411885
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 228/565,9215/729 is 19/411885
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 565,729 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(565,729) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(565,729) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(565,729) = ( 565 × 729 ) / 1
LCM(565,729) = 411885 / 1
LCM(565,729) = 411885
