So the greatest common factor 36,45,189 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 90,52,271
2 | 90, 52, 271 |
45, 26, 271 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 45 x 26 x 271 = 634140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/634140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/90,45/52,189/271 is 9/634140
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 90,52,271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(90,52,271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(90,52,271) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(90,52,271) = ( 90 × 52 × 271 ) / 2
LCM(90,52,271) = 1268280 / 2
LCM(90,52,271) = 634140
