Lets's calculate LCM of 229,252
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 57708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/57708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/229,583/252 is 11/57708
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 229,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,252) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,252) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,252) = ( 229 × 252 ) / 1
LCM(229,252) = 57708 / 1
LCM(229,252) = 57708
