So the greatest common factor 721,608 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 557,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127553
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/127553
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 721/557,608/229 is 1/127553
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 557,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,229) = ( 557 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(557,229) = 127553 / 1
LCM(557,229) = 127553
