So the greatest common factor 453,162 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 229,131
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29999
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/29999
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 453/229,162/131 is 3/29999
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 229,131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,131) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,131) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,131) = ( 229 × 131 ) / 1
LCM(229,131) = 29999 / 1
LCM(229,131) = 29999
