Lets's calculate LCM of 241,1995
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 480795
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/480795
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5726/241,1478/1995 is 2/480795
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 241,1995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,1995) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,1995) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,1995) = ( 241 × 1995 ) / 1
LCM(241,1995) = 480795 / 1
LCM(241,1995) = 480795
