Lets's calculate LCM of 481,3321
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1597401
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1597401
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9578/481,5996/3321 is 2/1597401
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 481,3321 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(481,3321) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(481,3321) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(481,3321) = ( 481 × 3321 ) / 1
LCM(481,3321) = 1597401 / 1
LCM(481,3321) = 1597401
