So the greatest common factor 644,162 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 995,987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 982065
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/982065
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 644/995,162/987 is 2/982065
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 995,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(995,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(995,987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(995,987) = ( 995 × 987 ) / 1
LCM(995,987) = 982065 / 1
LCM(995,987) = 982065
