So the greatest common factor 5918,3268 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 171,998
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 170658
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/170658
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5918/171,3268/998 is 2/170658
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 171,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,998) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(171,998) = ( 171 × 998 ) / 1
LCM(171,998) = 170658 / 1
LCM(171,998) = 170658
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
