Lets's calculate LCM of 228,425
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 96900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/96900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3936/228,1957/425 is 1/96900
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 228,425 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(228,425) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(228,425) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(228,425) = ( 228 × 425 ) / 1
LCM(228,425) = 96900 / 1
LCM(228,425) = 96900
