Lets's calculate LCM of 229,147
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33663
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/33663
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 580/229,642/147 is 2/33663
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 229,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,147) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,147) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,147) = ( 229 × 147 ) / 1
LCM(229,147) = 33663 / 1
LCM(229,147) = 33663
