Lets's calculate LCM of 163,985
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160555
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/160555
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 264/163,562/985 is 2/160555
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 163,985 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(163,985) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(163,985) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(163,985) = ( 163 × 985 ) / 1
LCM(163,985) = 160555 / 1
LCM(163,985) = 160555
