Lets's calculate LCM of 277,368
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 101936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/101936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 496/277,4480/368 is 16/101936
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 277,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,368) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,368) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,368) = ( 277 × 368 ) / 1
LCM(277,368) = 101936 / 1
LCM(277,368) = 101936
