can't install mbstring php...missing libgmp.so.3

I just install php 5.4.16 on RHEL but am looking to install mbstring too. When I try to install it via yum...I get a dependency error on libgmp.so.3

[root@ip-108-205-20-169 ec2-user]# yum install php-mbstring

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

EDIT:

tried to install the 5.4 mbstring but am still getting the same error related to libgmp.so.3

[root@ip-108-205-20-169 ec2-user]# yum install php54w-mbstring-5.4.45-2.w6.x86_64

You are trying to install mbstring for php7, but your current php version installed is 5.4. You could remove php-common-5.4.16-36.el7_1.x86_64 and instead install php70w-common-7.0.2-1.w6.x86_64, or you could locate mbstring for php5.4 if you don't want to upgrade to 7.

PHP 5.4.16 is the default version provided in CentOS 7

You don't need any additional repository (especially webtatic which raise such conflicts).

Mixing repository for 6 and 7 can"t work.

Fix your repository configuration, and then like for all extensions

yum install php-mbstring

In your case you should update the release to 7:

rpm -Uvh http://mirror.innosol.asia/remi/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum install php71
yum install php71-php-mysqlnd php71-php-pecl-imagick php71-php-mcrypt php71-php-mbstring  php71-php-pecl-zip php71-php-devel php71-php-gd php71-php-pear 

then you should use yum to list the

yum list *mbstring*

and install it use yum.
