So the greatest common factor 21,605,836 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,97,286
97 | 97, 97, 286 |
1, 1, 286 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 97 x 1 x 1 x 286 = 27742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/97,605/97,836/286 is 1/27742
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 97,97,286 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,97,286) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 97
GCF(97,97,286) x common factors =1 x 97 = 97
LCM(97,97,286) = ( 97 × 97 × 286 ) / 97
LCM(97,97,286) = 2690974 / 97
LCM(97,97,286) = 27742
