So the greatest common factor 637,836 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 321,551
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176871
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/176871
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 637/321,836/551 is 1/176871
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 321,551 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(321,551) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(321,551) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(321,551) = ( 321 × 551 ) / 1
LCM(321,551) = 176871 / 1
LCM(321,551) = 176871
