Lets's calculate LCM of 651,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 319641
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/319641
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2289/651,3241/491 is 7/319641
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 651,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(651,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(651,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(651,491) = ( 651 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(651,491) = 319641 / 1
LCM(651,491) = 319641
