So the greatest common factor 254,673 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,7424
2 | 20, 7424 |
2 | 10, 3712 |
5, 1856 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 1856 = 37120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/20,673/7424 is 1/37120
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 20,7424 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,7424) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,7424) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(20,7424) = ( 20 × 7424 ) / 4
LCM(20,7424) = 148480 / 4
LCM(20,7424) = 37120
