So the greatest common factor 156,286 is 26.
Lets's calculate LCM of 977,188
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 183676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/183676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/977,286/188 is 26/183676
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 977,188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,188) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,188) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,188) = ( 977 × 188 ) / 1
LCM(977,188) = 183676 / 1
LCM(977,188) = 183676
