So the greatest common factor 233,324 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 177,494
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/87438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 233/177,324/494 is 1/87438
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 177,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,494) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(177,494) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(177,494) = ( 177 × 494 ) / 1
LCM(177,494) = 87438 / 1
LCM(177,494) = 87438
