Lets's calculate LCM of 224,5543
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1241632
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1241632
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6728/224,3114/5543 is 2/1241632
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 224,5543 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(224,5543) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(224,5543) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(224,5543) = ( 224 × 5543 ) / 1
LCM(224,5543) = 1241632 / 1
LCM(224,5543) = 1241632
