Lets's calculate LCM of 241,298
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/71818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3211/241,5738/298 is 19/71818
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 241,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,298) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,298) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,298) = ( 241 × 298 ) / 1
LCM(241,298) = 71818 / 1
LCM(241,298) = 71818
