So the greatest common factor 255,166 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 437,327
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 142899
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/142899
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 255/437,166/327 is 1/142899
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 437,327 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(437,327) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(437,327) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(437,327) = ( 437 × 327 ) / 1
LCM(437,327) = 142899 / 1
LCM(437,327) = 142899
