So the greatest common factor 371,536 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 226,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 219446
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/219446
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 371/226,536/971 is 1/219446
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 226,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(226,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(226,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(226,971) = ( 226 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(226,971) = 219446 / 1
LCM(226,971) = 219446
