So the greatest common factor 122,438 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,957
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 475629
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/475629
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 122/497,438/957 is 2/475629
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 497,957 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,957) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,957) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,957) = ( 497 × 957 ) / 1
LCM(497,957) = 475629 / 1
LCM(497,957) = 475629
