So the greatest common factor 278,759 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 220,377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 82940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/82940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 278/220,759/377 is 1/82940
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 220,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(220,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(220,377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(220,377) = ( 220 × 377 ) / 1
LCM(220,377) = 82940 / 1
LCM(220,377) = 82940
