Lets's calculate LCM of 254,127
127 | 254, 127 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 127 x 2 x 1 = 254
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/254
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6974/254,2168/127 is 2/254
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 254,127 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,127) = 127
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,127) x common factors =127 x 1 = 127
LCM(254,127) = ( 254 × 127 ) / 127
LCM(254,127) = 32258 / 127
LCM(254,127) = 254
