Lets's calculate LCM of 77,977
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 75229
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/75229
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 578/77,852/977 is 2/75229
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 77,977 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,977) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,977) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,977) = ( 77 × 977 ) / 1
LCM(77,977) = 75229 / 1
LCM(77,977) = 75229
