So the greatest common factor 2232,8559 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 304,715
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/217360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2232/304,8559/715 is 9/217360
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 304,715 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(304,715) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(304,715) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(304,715) = ( 304 × 715 ) / 1
LCM(304,715) = 217360 / 1
LCM(304,715) = 217360
