Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 166,3908 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 166,3908 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 984,997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 981048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/981048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 166/984,3908/997 is 2/981048
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 984,997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(984,997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(984,997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(984,997) = ( 984 × 997 ) / 1
LCM(984,997) = 981048 / 1
LCM(984,997) = 981048
