So the greatest common factor 857,280 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16571
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16571
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 857/73,280/227 is 1/16571
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 73,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,227) = ( 73 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(73,227) = 16571 / 1
LCM(73,227) = 16571
