Lets's calculate LCM of 148,136
2 | 148, 136 |
2 | 74, 68 |
37, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 37 x 34 = 5032
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5032
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3689/148,5497/136 is 1/5032
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 148,136 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(148,136) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(148,136) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(148,136) = ( 148 × 136 ) / 4
LCM(148,136) = 20128 / 4
LCM(148,136) = 5032
