Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3/87,8/86,1/86,26/596 is 1/2229636
Least Common Multiple of 87,86,86,596 with GCF Formula
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 87,86,86,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,86,86,596) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 172
GCF(87,86,86,596) x common factors =1 x 172 = 172
LCM(87,86,86,596) = ( 87 × 86 × 86 × 596 ) / 172
LCM(87,86,86,596) = 383497392 / 172
LCM(87,86,86,596) = 2229636
