Lets's calculate LCM of 135,268
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/36180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8246/135,5432/268 is 14/36180
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 135,268 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(135,268) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(135,268) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(135,268) = ( 135 × 268 ) / 1
LCM(135,268) = 36180 / 1
LCM(135,268) = 36180
