Lets's calculate LCM of 577,788
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 454676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/454676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 352/577,178/788 is 2/454676
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 577,788 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(577,788) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(577,788) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(577,788) = ( 577 × 788 ) / 1
LCM(577,788) = 454676 / 1
LCM(577,788) = 454676
