Now, list down the factors of 117
:1,3,9,13,39,117
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,198,117 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,198,117 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,81,827
3 | 36, 81, 827 |
3 | 12, 27, 827 |
4, 9, 827 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 4 x 9 x 827 = 267948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/267948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/36,198/81,117/827 is 3/267948
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 36,81,827 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,81,827) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 9
GCF(36,81,827) x common factors =1 x 9 = 9
LCM(36,81,827) = ( 36 × 81 × 827 ) / 9
LCM(36,81,827) = 2411532 / 9
LCM(36,81,827) = 267948
