Lets's calculate LCM of 581,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133049
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/133049
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 659/581,1416/229 is 1/133049
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 581,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(581,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(581,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(581,229) = ( 581 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(581,229) = 133049 / 1
LCM(581,229) = 133049
