Lets's calculate LCM of 802,977
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 783554
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 76/783554
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 228/802,6688/977 is 76/783554
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 802,977 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(802,977) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(802,977) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(802,977) = ( 802 × 977 ) / 1
LCM(802,977) = 783554 / 1
LCM(802,977) = 783554
