Lets's calculate LCM of 228,199
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/45372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2606/228,7324/199 is 2/45372
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 228,199 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(228,199) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(228,199) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(228,199) = ( 228 × 199 ) / 1
LCM(228,199) = 45372 / 1
LCM(228,199) = 45372
