So the greatest common factor 2238,5532 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,305
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23790
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/23790
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2238/78,5532/305 is 6/23790
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 78,305 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,305) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(78,305) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(78,305) = ( 78 × 305 ) / 1
LCM(78,305) = 23790 / 1
LCM(78,305) = 23790
