So the greatest common factor 228,5301 is 57.
Lets's calculate LCM of 155,232
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 57/35960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 228/155,5301/232 is 57/35960
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 155,232 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(155,232) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(155,232) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(155,232) = ( 155 × 232 ) / 1
LCM(155,232) = 35960 / 1
LCM(155,232) = 35960
