So the greatest common factor 6384,1617 is 21.
Lets's calculate LCM of 317,577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 182909
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/182909
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6384/317,1617/577 is 21/182909
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 317,577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(317,577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(317,577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(317,577) = ( 317 × 577 ) / 1
LCM(317,577) = 182909 / 1
LCM(317,577) = 182909
