Lets's calculate LCM of 277,579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160383
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/160383
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 600/277,940/579 is 20/160383
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 277,579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,579) = ( 277 × 579 ) / 1
LCM(277,579) = 160383 / 1
LCM(277,579) = 160383
