Lets's calculate LCM of 227,1236
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 280572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/280572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6398/227,5686/1236 is 2/280572
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 227,1236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(227,1236) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(227,1236) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(227,1236) = ( 227 × 1236 ) / 1
LCM(227,1236) = 280572 / 1
LCM(227,1236) = 280572
