So the greatest common factor 356,1050 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 227,5659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1284593
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1284593
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 356/227,1050/5659 is 2/1284593
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 227,5659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(227,5659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(227,5659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(227,5659) = ( 227 × 5659 ) / 1
LCM(227,5659) = 1284593 / 1
LCM(227,5659) = 1284593
