Lets's calculate LCM of 157,991
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 155587
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/155587
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 797/157,552/991 is 1/155587
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 157,991 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,991) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,991) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,991) = ( 157 × 991 ) / 1
LCM(157,991) = 155587 / 1
LCM(157,991) = 155587
