Lets's calculate LCM of 164,2997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 491508
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/491508
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3626/164,8399/2997 is 37/491508
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 164,2997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(164,2997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(164,2997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(164,2997) = ( 164 × 2997 ) / 1
LCM(164,2997) = 491508 / 1
LCM(164,2997) = 491508
