Lets's calculate LCM of 240,1046
2 | 240, 1046 |
120, 523 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 120 x 523 = 125520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/125520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6709/240,8492/1046 is 1/125520
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 240,1046 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,1046) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,1046) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(240,1046) = ( 240 × 1046 ) / 2
LCM(240,1046) = 251040 / 2
LCM(240,1046) = 125520
