Lets's calculate LCM of 659,147
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 96873
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/96873
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2230/659,8536/147 is 2/96873
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 659,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(659,147) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(659,147) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(659,147) = ( 659 × 147 ) / 1
LCM(659,147) = 96873 / 1
LCM(659,147) = 96873
