Lets's calculate LCM of 227,4217
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 957259
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/957259
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5934/227,2994/4217 is 6/957259
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 227,4217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(227,4217) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(227,4217) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(227,4217) = ( 227 × 4217 ) / 1
LCM(227,4217) = 957259 / 1
LCM(227,4217) = 957259
