Lets's calculate LCM of 60,80,31,24
| 2 | 60, 80, 31, 24 |
| 2 | 30, 40, 31, 12 |
| 2 | 15, 20, 31, 6 |
| 3 | 15, 10, 31, 3 |
| 5 | 5, 10, 31, 1 |
| 1, 2, 31, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 2 x 31 x 1 = 7440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7440

Least Common Multiple of 60,80,31,24 with GCF Formula
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 60,80,31,24 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,80,31,24) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 480
GCF(60,80,31,24) x common factors =1 x 480 = 480
LCM(60,80,31,24) = ( 60 × 80 × 31 × 24 ) / 480
LCM(60,80,31,24) = 3571200 / 480
LCM(60,80,31,24) = 7440
