Lets's calculate LCM of 649,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 156409
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/156409
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8961/649,3945/241 is 3/156409
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 649,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(649,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(649,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(649,241) = ( 649 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(649,241) = 156409 / 1
LCM(649,241) = 156409
