Fabian Oconnor · Answer 2

Factor the numbers, starting from the smallest:

792=2*3*3*11*4

990=2*3*3*11*5

the greatest whole number that can be divided by both 792 and 990 is 2*3*3*11=198

the smallest whole number that can divide both 792 and 990 exactly is 2*3*3*11*4*5=3960

Not sure which one you are asked to find.
