Lets's calculate LCM of 178,993
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 176754
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/176754
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 708/178,262/993 is 2/176754
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 178,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,993) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(178,993) = ( 178 × 993 ) / 1
LCM(178,993) = 176754 / 1
LCM(178,993) = 176754
