So the greatest common factor 11,86,873 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,280,846
2 | 237, 280, 846 |
3 | 237, 140, 423 |
79, 140, 141 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 79 x 140 x 141 = 9356760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9356760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 11/237,86/280,873/846 is 1/9356760
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 237,280,846 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,280,846) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(237,280,846) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(237,280,846) = ( 237 × 280 × 846 ) / 6
LCM(237,280,846) = 56140560 / 6
LCM(237,280,846) = 9356760
