Lets's calculate LCM of 493,228
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 112404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/112404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5529/493,7716/228 is 3/112404
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 493,228 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,228) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,228) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,228) = ( 493 × 228 ) / 1
LCM(493,228) = 112404 / 1
LCM(493,228) = 112404
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
