So the greatest common factor 589,229 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 226,387
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/87462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 589/226,229/387 is 1/87462
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 226,387 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(226,387) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(226,387) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(226,387) = ( 226 × 387 ) / 1
LCM(226,387) = 87462 / 1
LCM(226,387) = 87462
