Lets's calculate LCM of 277,1148
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 317996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 35/317996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8855/277,9170/1148 is 35/317996
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 277,1148 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,1148) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,1148) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,1148) = ( 277 × 1148 ) / 1
LCM(277,1148) = 317996 / 1
LCM(277,1148) = 317996
