Lets's calculate LCM of 148,4748
2 | 148, 4748 |
2 | 74, 2374 |
37, 1187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 37 x 1187 = 175676
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/175676
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5930/148,1961/4748 is 1/175676
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 148,4748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(148,4748) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(148,4748) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(148,4748) = ( 148 × 4748 ) / 4
LCM(148,4748) = 702704 / 4
LCM(148,4748) = 175676
