Lets's calculate LCM of 492,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 112668
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/112668
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 790/492,4482/229 is 2/112668
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 492,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(492,229) = ( 492 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(492,229) = 112668 / 1
LCM(492,229) = 112668
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
