Lets's calculate LCM of 177,955
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169035
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/169035
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 324/177,608/955 is 4/169035
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 177,955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,955) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(177,955) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(177,955) = ( 177 × 955 ) / 1
LCM(177,955) = 169035 / 1
LCM(177,955) = 169035
