Lets's calculate LCM of 369,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 192249
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/192249
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5541/369,9238/521 is 1/192249
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 369,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(369,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(369,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(369,521) = ( 369 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(369,521) = 192249 / 1
LCM(369,521) = 192249
