Lets's calculate LCM of 227,1779
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 403833
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/403833
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1638/227,4448/1779 is 2/403833
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 227,1779 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(227,1779) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(227,1779) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(227,1779) = ( 227 × 1779 ) / 1
LCM(227,1779) = 403833 / 1
LCM(227,1779) = 403833
