Lets's calculate LCM of 227,3160
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 717320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/717320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 862/227,3962/3160 is 2/717320
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 227,3160 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(227,3160) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(227,3160) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(227,3160) = ( 227 × 3160 ) / 1
LCM(227,3160) = 717320 / 1
LCM(227,3160) = 717320
