Lets's calculate LCM of 521,432
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 225072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/225072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 229/521,855/432 is 1/225072
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 521,432 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,432) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,432) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,432) = ( 521 × 432 ) / 1
LCM(521,432) = 225072 / 1
LCM(521,432) = 225072
