So the greatest common factor 400,798 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 205,166
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34030
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/34030
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 400/205,798/166 is 2/34030
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 205,166 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(205,166) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(205,166) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(205,166) = ( 205 × 166 ) / 1
LCM(205,166) = 34030 / 1
LCM(205,166) = 34030
