Lets's calculate LCM of 424,148
2 | 424, 148 |
2 | 212, 74 |
106, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 106 x 37 = 15688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/15688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3234/424,5348/148 is 14/15688
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 424,148 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(424,148) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(424,148) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(424,148) = ( 424 × 148 ) / 4
LCM(424,148) = 62752 / 4
LCM(424,148) = 15688
