Lets's calculate LCM of 161,377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 60697
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/60697
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 578/161,598/377 is 2/60697
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 161,377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,377) = ( 161 × 377 ) / 1
LCM(161,377) = 60697 / 1
LCM(161,377) = 60697
