This method works for two numbers

Explanation:

write 24124 as smallest possible fraction.
So 24124 becomes 1262 and then 631.
631 is the smallest possible fraction.
now take the denominator(i.e, 31) and multiply with 24 or other way around , you can take numerator ( i.e,6) and multiply with 124.

So, the answer would be 2431 = 6124 = 744.
hope this helps!
