So the greatest common factor 16,423,671 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 83,21,166
83 | 83, 21, 166 |
1, 21, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 83 x 1 x 21 x 2 = 3486
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3486
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/83,423/21,671/166 is 1/3486
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 83,21,166 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(83,21,166) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 83
GCF(83,21,166) x common factors =1 x 83 = 83
LCM(83,21,166) = ( 83 × 21 × 166 ) / 83
LCM(83,21,166) = 289338 / 83
LCM(83,21,166) = 3486
