So the greatest common factor 788,396 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 163,992
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 161696
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/161696
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 788/163,396/992 is 4/161696
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 163,992 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(163,992) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(163,992) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(163,992) = ( 163 × 992 ) / 1
LCM(163,992) = 161696 / 1
LCM(163,992) = 161696
