Lets's calculate LCM of 319,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 311982
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/311982
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 176/319,325/978 is 1/311982
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 319,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(319,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(319,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(319,978) = ( 319 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(319,978) = 311982 / 1
LCM(319,978) = 311982
