Lets's calculate LCM of 589,3491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2056199
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2056199
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8211/589,4731/3491 is 3/2056199
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 589,3491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,3491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,3491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,3491) = ( 589 × 3491 ) / 1
LCM(589,3491) = 2056199 / 1
LCM(589,3491) = 2056199
