Lets's calculate LCM of 985,161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158585
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/158585
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9916/985,1726/161 is 2/158585
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 985,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(985,161) = ( 985 × 161 ) / 1
LCM(985,161) = 158585 / 1
LCM(985,161) = 158585
