Lets's calculate LCM of 229,455
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 104195
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/104195
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4218/229,9298/455 is 2/104195
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 229,455 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,455) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,455) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,455) = ( 229 × 455 ) / 1
LCM(229,455) = 104195 / 1
LCM(229,455) = 104195
