Lets's calculate LCM of 229,716
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 163964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/163964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 985/229,126/716 is 1/163964
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 229,716 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,716) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,716) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,716) = ( 229 × 716 ) / 1
LCM(229,716) = 163964 / 1
LCM(229,716) = 163964
