Finding Average of 48/24, 5/9, 89/16

Given fractions are 48/24,5/9,89/16

The LCM of 24,9,16 (denominators of the fractions) is 144

Finding LCM of 24,9,16 by Common Division

Arrange the Inputs 24,9,16 in a horizontal line separated by commas and divide them with a prime number. Note the quotients in the next row and divide with quotients with prime numbers again. Continue the process until you have all co primes in the last.

2 24, 9, 16
2 12, 9, 8
2 6, 9, 4
3 3, 9, 2
1, 3, 2

As all the numbers left in the last row are co primes you need not do the common division process further.

To obtain the Least Common Multiple, multiply the prime numbers with which you have divided the given numbers and the co primes in the last row i.e. 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 3 x 2 = 144

Therefore, LCM of 24,9,16 is 144

Finding LCM of 24,9,16 using GCF Formula

Step1:

Let's calculate the LCM of first two numbers

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a x b) / GCF(a,b)

GCF(24, 9) = 3

LCM(24, 9) = ( 24 x 9 ) / 3

LCM(24, 9) = 216 / 3

LCM(24, 9) = 72


Step2:

Here we consider the LCM from the above i.e. 72 as first number and the next as 16

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a x b) / GCF(a,b)

GCF(72, 16) = 8

LCM(72, 16) = ( 72 x 16 ) / 8

LCM(72, 16) = 1152 / 8

LCM(72, 16) = 144

LCM of 24,9,16 is 144

The least common Multiple (LCM) is: 144.

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCM:

= 288/144,80/144,801/144

= 288+80+801/144

Totaling the numerator:

1169/144

Dividing by the number of values: 3

The given fractions are 1169/144 and 3/1

On dividing the both fractions,1169/144 ÷ 3/1

Then the denominator of the first fraction i.e., 144 will comes to the numerator of the second fraction and gets multiplied,

And in the same way,the denominator of the second fraction i.e., 1 will comes to the numerator of the first fraction and gets multiplied:

1169/144 ÷ 3/1 = 1169 x 1/144 x 3

On Multiplying the denominators and the numerators,the fraction value we get,

1169/432

Result: 1169/432

Average of fraction = 1169/432
