Lets's calculate LCM of 989,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 238349
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/238349
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 458/989,6132/241 is 2/238349
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 989,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(989,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(989,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(989,241) = ( 989 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(989,241) = 238349 / 1
LCM(989,241) = 238349
