Lets's calculate LCM of 231,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 201432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/201432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3295/231,4448/872 is 1/201432
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 231,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,872) = ( 231 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(231,872) = 201432 / 1
LCM(231,872) = 201432
