Lets's calculate LCM of 150,6088
2 | 150, 6088 |
75, 3044 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 75 x 3044 = 456600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 197/456600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7486/150,2955/6088 is 197/456600
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 150,6088 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(150,6088) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(150,6088) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(150,6088) = ( 150 × 6088 ) / 2
LCM(150,6088) = 913200 / 2
LCM(150,6088) = 456600
