So the greatest common factor 176,392 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 617,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 195589
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/195589
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 176/617,392/317 is 8/195589
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 617,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(617,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(617,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(617,317) = ( 617 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(617,317) = 195589 / 1
LCM(617,317) = 195589
