Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 226,118 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 226,118 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 289,855
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247095
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/247095
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 226/289,118/855 is 2/247095
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 289,855 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(289,855) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(289,855) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(289,855) = ( 289 × 855 ) / 1
LCM(289,855) = 247095 / 1
LCM(289,855) = 247095
