Lets's calculate LCM of 229,4421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1012409
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1012409
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1812/229,8240/4421 is 4/1012409
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 229,4421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,4421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,4421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,4421) = ( 229 × 4421 ) / 1
LCM(229,4421) = 1012409 / 1
LCM(229,4421) = 1012409
