So the greatest common factor 155,188 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 295,677
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199715
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/199715
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 155/295,188/677 is 1/199715
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 295,677 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,677) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,677) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,677) = ( 295 × 677 ) / 1
LCM(295,677) = 199715 / 1
LCM(295,677) = 199715
