Lets's calculate LCM of 148,2242
2 | 148, 2242 |
74, 1121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 74 x 1121 = 165908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/165908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5912/148,4330/2242 is 2/165908
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 148,2242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(148,2242) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(148,2242) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(148,2242) = ( 148 × 2242 ) / 2
LCM(148,2242) = 331816 / 2
LCM(148,2242) = 165908
