Lets's calculate LCM of 499,3181
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1587319
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1587319
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2241/499,4262/3181 is 1/1587319
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 499,3181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(499,3181) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(499,3181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(499,3181) = ( 499 × 3181 ) / 1
LCM(499,3181) = 1587319 / 1
LCM(499,3181) = 1587319
