Lets's calculate LCM of 444,2231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 990564
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/990564
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5374/444,8512/2231 is 2/990564
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 444,2231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(444,2231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(444,2231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(444,2231) = ( 444 × 2231 ) / 1
LCM(444,2231) = 990564 / 1
LCM(444,2231) = 990564
