Lets's calculate LCM of 629,7331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4611199
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4611199
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 228/629,2518/7331 is 2/4611199
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 629,7331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(629,7331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(629,7331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(629,7331) = ( 629 × 7331 ) / 1
LCM(629,7331) = 4611199 / 1
LCM(629,7331) = 4611199
