So the greatest common factor 142,697 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 177,906
3 | 177, 906 |
59, 302 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 59 x 302 = 53454
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/53454
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 142/177,697/906 is 1/53454
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 177,906 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(177,906) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(177,906) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(177,906) = ( 177 × 906 ) / 3
LCM(177,906) = 160362 / 3
LCM(177,906) = 53454
