So the greatest common factor 632,946 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,166
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42662
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/42662
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 632/257,946/166 is 2/42662
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 257,166 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,166) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,166) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,166) = ( 257 × 166 ) / 1
LCM(257,166) = 42662 / 1
LCM(257,166) = 42662
