So the greatest common factor 2672,8864 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 148,134
2 | 148, 134 |
74, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 74 x 67 = 9916
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/9916
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2672/148,8864/134 is 16/9916
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 148,134 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(148,134) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(148,134) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(148,134) = ( 148 × 134 ) / 2
LCM(148,134) = 19832 / 2
LCM(148,134) = 9916
