Lets's calculate LCM of 552,845
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 466440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/466440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 996/552,2224/845 is 4/466440
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 552,845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(552,845) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(552,845) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(552,845) = ( 552 × 845 ) / 1
LCM(552,845) = 466440 / 1
LCM(552,845) = 466440
