So the greatest common factor 136,288 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,1174
2 | 76, 1174 |
38, 587 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 38 x 587 = 44612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/44612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 136/76,288/1174 is 8/44612
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 76,1174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,1174) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,1174) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(76,1174) = ( 76 × 1174 ) / 2
LCM(76,1174) = 89224 / 2
LCM(76,1174) = 44612
