So the greatest common factor 33,63,126 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 164,176,496
2 | 164, 176, 496 |
2 | 82, 88, 248 |
2 | 41, 44, 124 |
2 | 41, 22, 62 |
41, 11, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 41 x 11 x 31 = 223696
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/223696
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 33/164,63/176,126/496 is 3/223696
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 164,176,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(164,176,496) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 16
GCF(164,176,496) x common factors =4 x 16 = 64
LCM(164,176,496) = ( 164 × 176 × 496 ) / 64
LCM(164,176,496) = 14316544 / 64
LCM(164,176,496) = 223696
