Lets's calculate LCM of 443,177
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 78411
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/78411
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 865/443,372/177 is 1/78411
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 443,177 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(443,177) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(443,177) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(443,177) = ( 443 × 177 ) / 1
LCM(443,177) = 78411 / 1
LCM(443,177) = 78411
