Lets's calculate LCM of 68,3223
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 219164
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/219164
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 203/68,729/3223 is 1/219164
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 68,3223 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,3223) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,3223) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,3223) = ( 68 × 3223 ) / 1
LCM(68,3223) = 219164 / 1
LCM(68,3223) = 219164
