Lets's calculate LCM of 268,148
2 | 268, 148 |
2 | 134, 74 |
67, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 67 x 37 = 9916
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/9916
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5585/268,2605/148 is 5/9916
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 268,148 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,148) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,148) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(268,148) = ( 268 × 148 ) / 4
LCM(268,148) = 39664 / 4
LCM(268,148) = 9916
