So the greatest common factor 8815,5140 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 149,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35909
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/35909
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8815/149,5140/241 is 5/35909
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 149,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(149,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(149,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(149,241) = ( 149 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(149,241) = 35909 / 1
LCM(149,241) = 35909
