Lets's calculate LCM of 124,492
2 | 124, 492 |
2 | 62, 246 |
31, 123 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 31 x 123 = 15252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/15252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1876/124,7880/492 is 4/15252
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 124,492 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(124,492) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(124,492) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(124,492) = ( 124 × 492 ) / 4
LCM(124,492) = 61008 / 4
LCM(124,492) = 15252
