Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 224,288 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 224,288 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 856,255
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 218280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/218280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 224/856,288/255 is 32/218280
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 856,255 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(856,255) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(856,255) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(856,255) = ( 856 × 255 ) / 1
LCM(856,255) = 218280 / 1
LCM(856,255) = 218280
