So the greatest common factor 28,75,166 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,392,280
2 | 236, 392, 280 |
2 | 118, 196, 140 |
2 | 59, 98, 70 |
7 | 59, 49, 35 |
59, 7, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 59 x 7 x 5 = 115640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/115640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/236,75/392,166/280 is 1/115640
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 236,392,280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,392,280) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 56
GCF(236,392,280) x common factors =4 x 56 = 224
LCM(236,392,280) = ( 236 × 392 × 280 ) / 224
LCM(236,392,280) = 25903360 / 224
LCM(236,392,280) = 115640
