Lets's calculate LCM of 287,838
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 240506
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/240506
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 577/287,176/838 is 1/240506
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 287,838 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,838) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,838) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,838) = ( 287 × 838 ) / 1
LCM(287,838) = 240506 / 1
LCM(287,838) = 240506
