Lets's calculate LCM of 147,462
3 | 147, 462 |
7 | 49, 154 |
7, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 7 x 22 = 3234
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3234
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5128/147,1174/462 is 2/3234
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 147,462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(147,462) = 21
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(147,462) x common factors =21 x 1 = 21
LCM(147,462) = ( 147 × 462 ) / 21
LCM(147,462) = 67914 / 21
LCM(147,462) = 3234
