Lets's calculate LCM of 229,3986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 912794
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/912794
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5446/229,2820/3986 is 2/912794
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 229,3986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,3986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,3986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,3986) = ( 229 × 3986 ) / 1
LCM(229,3986) = 912794 / 1
LCM(229,3986) = 912794
