Lets's calculate LCM of 136,714
2 | 136, 714 |
17 | 68, 357 |
4, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 4 x 21 = 2856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 962/136,8984/714 is 2/2856
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 136,714 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(136,714) = 34
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(136,714) x common factors =34 x 1 = 34
LCM(136,714) = ( 136 × 714 ) / 34
LCM(136,714) = 97104 / 34
LCM(136,714) = 2856
