Lets's calculate LCM of 977,319
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 311663
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/311663
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 409/977,3478/319 is 1/311663
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 977,319 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,319) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,319) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,319) = ( 977 × 319 ) / 1
LCM(977,319) = 311663 / 1
LCM(977,319) = 311663
