Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 23,87,183 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 23,87,183 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 156,278,521
2 | 156, 278, 521 |
78, 139, 521 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 78 x 139 x 521 = 11297364
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11297364
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/156,87/278,183/521 is 1/11297364
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 156,278,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(156,278,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(156,278,521) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(156,278,521) = ( 156 × 278 × 521 ) / 2
LCM(156,278,521) = 22594728 / 2
LCM(156,278,521) = 11297364
