So the greatest common factor 384,144 is 48.
Lets's calculate LCM of 184,148
2 | 184, 148 |
2 | 92, 74 |
46, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 46 x 37 = 6808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 48/6808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 384/184,144/148 is 48/6808
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 184,148 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(184,148) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(184,148) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(184,148) = ( 184 × 148 ) / 4
LCM(184,148) = 27232 / 4
LCM(184,148) = 6808
