Lets's calculate LCM of 595,297
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176715
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/176715
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 659/595,7977/297 is 1/176715
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 595,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(595,297) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(595,297) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(595,297) = ( 595 × 297 ) / 1
LCM(595,297) = 176715 / 1
LCM(595,297) = 176715
