So the greatest common factor 3998,9338 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,984
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/24600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3998/25,9338/984 is 2/24600
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 25,984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,984) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,984) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(25,984) = ( 25 × 984 ) / 1
LCM(25,984) = 24600 / 1
LCM(25,984) = 24600
