The factors of 79 are 1, 79
The factors of 77 are 1, 7, 11, 77
The HCF of 79,77 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 79,77
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,680
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 161160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/161160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 79/237,77/680 is 1/161160
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 237,680 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,680) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,680) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(237,680) = ( 237 × 680 ) / 1
LCM(237,680) = 161160 / 1
LCM(237,680) = 161160
