Lets's calculate LCM of 223,196
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 497/223,374/196 is 1/43708
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 223,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(223,196) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(223,196) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(223,196) = ( 223 × 196 ) / 1
LCM(223,196) = 43708 / 1
LCM(223,196) = 43708
