Finding Average of 74/96, 2/5, 42/36

Given fractions are 74/96,2/5,42/36

The LCM of 96,5,36 (denominators of the fractions) is 1440

Finding LCM of 96,5,36 by Common Division

Arrange the Inputs 96,5,36 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 96, 5, 36
2 48, 5, 18
3 24, 5, 9
8, 5, 3

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 3 x 8 x 5 x 3 = 1440

Therefore, LCM of 96,5,36 is 1440

Finding LCM of 96,5,36 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(96, 5) = 1

LCM(96, 5) = ( 96 x 5 ) / 1

LCM(96, 5) = 480 / 1

LCM(96, 5) = 480


Step2:

Here we consider the LCM from the above i.e. 480 as first number and the next as 36

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

GCF(480, 36) = 12

LCM(480, 36) = ( 480 x 36 ) / 12

LCM(480, 36) = 17280 / 12

LCM(480, 36) = 1440

LCM of 96,5,36 is 1440

The least common Multiple (LCM) is: 1440.

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCM:

= 1110/1440,576/1440,1680/1440

= 1110+576+1680/1440

Totaling the numerator:

3366/1440

Reducing the fraction:

187/80

Dividing by the number of values: 3

The given fractions are 187/80 and 3/1

On dividing the both fractions,187/80 ÷ 3/1

Then the denominator of the first fraction i.e., 80 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:

187/80 ÷ 3/1 = 187 x 1/80 x 3

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

187/240

Result: 187/240

Average of fraction = 187/240
