So the greatest common factor 288,473 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 223,121
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26983
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26983
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/223,473/121 is 1/26983
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 223,121 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(223,121) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(223,121) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(223,121) = ( 223 × 121 ) / 1
LCM(223,121) = 26983 / 1
LCM(223,121) = 26983
