So the greatest common factor 3240,4978 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 353,141
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 49773
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/49773
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3240/353,4978/141 is 2/49773
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 353,141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(353,141) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(353,141) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(353,141) = ( 353 × 141 ) / 1
LCM(353,141) = 49773 / 1
LCM(353,141) = 49773
