Lets's calculate LCM of 254,956
2 | 254, 956 |
127, 478 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 127 x 478 = 121412
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/121412
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7404/254,2620/956 is 4/121412
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 254,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,956) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,956) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(254,956) = ( 254 × 956 ) / 2
LCM(254,956) = 242824 / 2
LCM(254,956) = 121412
