So the greatest common factor 37,287,593 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,21,473
11 | 88, 21, 473 |
8, 21, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 8 x 21 x 43 = 79464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/79464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/88,287/21,593/473 is 1/79464
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 88,21,473 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,21,473) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 11
GCF(88,21,473) x common factors =1 x 11 = 11
LCM(88,21,473) = ( 88 × 21 × 473 ) / 11
LCM(88,21,473) = 874104 / 11
LCM(88,21,473) = 79464
