Lets's calculate LCM of 168,841
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 141288
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/141288
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 924/168,228/841 is 12/141288
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 168,841 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(168,841) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(168,841) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(168,841) = ( 168 × 841 ) / 1
LCM(168,841) = 141288 / 1
LCM(168,841) = 141288
