Lets's calculate GCF of 79,39
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 242,2017
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 488114
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/488114
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 79/242,39/2017 is 1/488114
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 242,2017 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,2017) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,2017) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(242,2017) = ( 242 × 2017 ) / 1
LCM(242,2017) = 488114 / 1
LCM(242,2017) = 488114
