:1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,23,27,42,46,54,63,69,126,138,161,189,207,322,378,414,483,621,966,1242,1449,2898,4347,8694
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7281,8694 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7281,8694 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 233,2235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 520755
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/520755
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7281/233,8694/2235 is 9/520755
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 233,2235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(233,2235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(233,2235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(233,2235) = ( 233 × 2235 ) / 1
LCM(233,2235) = 520755 / 1
LCM(233,2235) = 520755
