So the greatest common factor 23,238,879 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 186,316,855
2 | 186, 316, 855 |
3 | 93, 158, 855 |
31, 158, 285 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 31 x 158 x 285 = 8375580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8375580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/186,238/316,879/855 is 1/8375580
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 186,316,855 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(186,316,855) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(186,316,855) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(186,316,855) = ( 186 × 316 × 855 ) / 6
LCM(186,316,855) = 50253480 / 6
LCM(186,316,855) = 8375580
