Lets's calculate LCM of 482,219
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 105558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/105558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 688/482,229/219 is 1/105558
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 482,219 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(482,219) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(482,219) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(482,219) = ( 482 × 219 ) / 1
LCM(482,219) = 105558 / 1
LCM(482,219) = 105558
