Lets's calculate LCM of 780,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 177060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/177060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 658/780,538/227 is 2/177060
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 780,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(780,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(780,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(780,227) = ( 780 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(780,227) = 177060 / 1
LCM(780,227) = 177060
