Lets's calculate LCM of 445,223
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 99235
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/99235
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8804/445,3194/223 is 2/99235
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 445,223 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(445,223) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(445,223) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(445,223) = ( 445 × 223 ) / 1
LCM(445,223) = 99235 / 1
LCM(445,223) = 99235
