So the greatest common factor 253,595 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 229,908
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 207932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/207932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/229,595/908 is 1/207932
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 229,908 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,908) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,908) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,908) = ( 229 × 908 ) / 1
LCM(229,908) = 207932 / 1
LCM(229,908) = 207932
