So the greatest common factor 281,760 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,876
2 | 20, 876 |
2 | 10, 438 |
5, 219 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 219 = 4380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 281/20,760/876 is 1/4380
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 20,876 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,876) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,876) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(20,876) = ( 20 × 876 ) / 4
LCM(20,876) = 17520 / 4
LCM(20,876) = 4380
