Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 221,587,663 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 221,587,663 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,45,734
| 2 | 88, 45, 734 |
| 44, 45, 367 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 44 x 45 x 367 = 1453320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1453320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 221/88,587/45,663/734 is 1/1453320
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 88,45,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,45,734) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(88,45,734) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(88,45,734) = ( 88 × 45 × 734 ) / 2
LCM(88,45,734) = 2906640 / 2
LCM(88,45,734) = 1453320
