Lets's calculate LCM of 441,3439
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1516599
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/1516599
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8721/441,6399/3439 is 27/1516599
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 441,3439 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(441,3439) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(441,3439) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(441,3439) = ( 441 × 3439 ) / 1
LCM(441,3439) = 1516599 / 1
LCM(441,3439) = 1516599
