Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 166,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 166,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 691,996
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 688236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/688236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 166/691,261/996 is 1/688236
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 691,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(691,996) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(691,996) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(691,996) = ( 691 × 996 ) / 1
LCM(691,996) = 688236 / 1
LCM(691,996) = 688236
