Lets's calculate LCM of 521,481
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 250601
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/250601
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 969/521,1839/481 is 3/250601
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 521,481 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,481) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,481) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,481) = ( 521 × 481 ) / 1
LCM(521,481) = 250601 / 1
LCM(521,481) = 250601
