So the greatest common factor 46,17,744 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,88,233
11 | 99, 88, 233 |
9, 8, 233 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 9 x 8 x 233 = 184536
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/184536
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/99,17/88,744/233 is 1/184536
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 99,88,233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,88,233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 11
GCF(99,88,233) x common factors =1 x 11 = 11
LCM(99,88,233) = ( 99 × 88 × 233 ) / 11
LCM(99,88,233) = 2029896 / 11
LCM(99,88,233) = 184536
