So the greatest common factor 866,556 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 997,845
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 842465
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/842465
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 866/997,556/845 is 2/842465
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 997,845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(997,845) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(997,845) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(997,845) = ( 997 × 845 ) / 1
LCM(997,845) = 842465 / 1
LCM(997,845) = 842465
