Lets's calculate LCM of 148,520
2 | 148, 520 |
2 | 74, 260 |
37, 130 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 37 x 130 = 19240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2123/148,8607/520 is 1/19240
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 148,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(148,520) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(148,520) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(148,520) = ( 148 × 520 ) / 4
LCM(148,520) = 76960 / 4
LCM(148,520) = 19240
