So the greatest common factor 994,546 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 329,550
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 180950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/180950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/329,546/550 is 14/180950
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 329,550 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(329,550) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(329,550) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(329,550) = ( 329 × 550 ) / 1
LCM(329,550) = 180950 / 1
LCM(329,550) = 180950
