Since Lutetium-177 is a beta and gamma emitter, the daughter nuclide produced from the decay of this radioisotope is 177Hf.
Beta emission of a radioisotope yields a daughter nuclide whose amass number is the same as that of its parent nucleus but its atomic number is greater is greater than that of the parent nucleus by 1 unit.
Also, gamma emission does not lead to any change in the mass number of atomic number of the daughter nucleus produced.
Hence, the stable daughter nuclide, 177Hf is produced.
