Lets's calculate LCM of 21,5840
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 122640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/122640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 209/21,598/5840 is 1/122640
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 21,5840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,5840) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,5840) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,5840) = ( 21 × 5840 ) / 1
LCM(21,5840) = 122640 / 1
LCM(21,5840) = 122640
