Lets's calculate LCM of 97,538
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52186
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/52186
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 289/97,589/538 is 1/52186
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 97,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,538) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,538) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,538) = ( 97 × 538 ) / 1
LCM(97,538) = 52186 / 1
LCM(97,538) = 52186
