Lets's calculate LCM of 977,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 251089
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/251089
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 203/977,8530/257 is 1/251089
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 977,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,257) = ( 977 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(977,257) = 251089 / 1
LCM(977,257) = 251089
