Lets's calculate LCM of 481,898
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 431938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/431938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3941/481,8532/898 is 1/431938
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 481,898 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(481,898) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(481,898) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(481,898) = ( 481 × 898 ) / 1
LCM(481,898) = 431938 / 1
LCM(481,898) = 431938
