So the greatest common factor 1660,1885 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 298,575
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/171350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1660/298,1885/575 is 5/171350
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 298,575 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,575) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,575) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(298,575) = ( 298 × 575 ) / 1
LCM(298,575) = 171350 / 1
LCM(298,575) = 171350
