Lets's calculate LCM of 229,384
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/87936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3516/229,7779/384 is 3/87936
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 229,384 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,384) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,384) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,384) = ( 229 × 384 ) / 1
LCM(229,384) = 87936 / 1
LCM(229,384) = 87936
