Lets's calculate LCM of 136,5281
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 718216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/718216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2008/136,1486/5281 is 2/718216
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 136,5281 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(136,5281) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(136,5281) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(136,5281) = ( 136 × 5281 ) / 1
LCM(136,5281) = 718216 / 1
LCM(136,5281) = 718216
