So the greatest common factor 357,202,346 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,86,16
2 | 96, 86, 16 |
2 | 48, 43, 8 |
2 | 24, 43, 4 |
2 | 12, 43, 2 |
6, 43, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 6 x 43 x 1 = 4128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 357/96,202/86,346/16 is 1/4128
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 96,86,16 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,86,16) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 16
GCF(96,86,16) x common factors =2 x 16 = 32
LCM(96,86,16) = ( 96 × 86 × 16 ) / 32
LCM(96,86,16) = 132096 / 32
LCM(96,86,16) = 4128
