Lets's calculate LCM of 355,472
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/167560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3377/355,8977/472 is 1/167560
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 355,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(355,472) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(355,472) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(355,472) = ( 355 × 472 ) / 1
LCM(355,472) = 167560 / 1
LCM(355,472) = 167560
