So the greatest common factor 992,744 is 248.
Lets's calculate LCM of 65,668
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 248/43420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/65,744/668 is 248/43420
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 65,668 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(65,668) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(65,668) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(65,668) = ( 65 × 668 ) / 1
LCM(65,668) = 43420 / 1
LCM(65,668) = 43420
