Lets's calculate LCM of 22,136
2 | 22, 136 |
11, 68 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 68 = 1496
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1496
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 344/22,6248/136 is 8/1496
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 22,136 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,136) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,136) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(22,136) = ( 22 × 136 ) / 2
LCM(22,136) = 2992 / 2
LCM(22,136) = 1496
