Lets's calculate LCM of 227,2218
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 503486
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/503486
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5215/227,1757/2218 is 7/503486
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 227,2218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(227,2218) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(227,2218) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(227,2218) = ( 227 × 2218 ) / 1
LCM(227,2218) = 503486 / 1
LCM(227,2218) = 503486
