Lets's calculate LCM of 254,5486
2 | 254, 5486 |
127, 2743 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 127 x 2743 = 696722
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/696722
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6376/254,8730/5486 is 2/696722
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 254,5486 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,5486) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,5486) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(254,5486) = ( 254 × 5486 ) / 2
LCM(254,5486) = 1393444 / 2
LCM(254,5486) = 696722
