The factors of 97 are 1, 97
The factors of 94 are 1, 2, 47, 94
The HCF of 97,94 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 97,94
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 242,537
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129954
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/129954
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 97/242,94/537 is 1/129954
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 242,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(242,537) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(242,537) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(242,537) = ( 242 × 537 ) / 1
LCM(242,537) = 129954 / 1
LCM(242,537) = 129954
