Lets's calculate LCM of 254,113

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28702

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28702

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/254,42/113 is 2/28702

Least Common Multiple of 254,113 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 254,113 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 254,113 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(254,113) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(254,113) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(254,113) = ( 254 × 113 ) / 1

LCM(254,113) = 28702 / 1

LCM(254,113) = 28702
