Lets's calculate LCM of 929,226
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 209954
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/209954
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5872/929,1150/226 is 2/209954
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 929,226 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(929,226) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(929,226) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(929,226) = ( 929 × 226 ) / 1
LCM(929,226) = 209954 / 1
LCM(929,226) = 209954
