So the greatest common factor 237,810,285 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,18,46
2 | 85, 18, 46 |
85, 9, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 85 x 9 x 23 = 35190
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/35190
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/85,810/18,285/46 is 3/35190
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 85,18,46 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,18,46) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(85,18,46) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(85,18,46) = ( 85 × 18 × 46 ) / 2
LCM(85,18,46) = 70380 / 2
LCM(85,18,46) = 35190
