So the greatest common factor 48,36,706 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,46,575
23 | 87, 46, 575 |
87, 2, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 87 x 2 x 25 = 100050
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/100050
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/87,36/46,706/575 is 2/100050
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 87,46,575 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,46,575) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 23
GCF(87,46,575) x common factors =1 x 23 = 23
LCM(87,46,575) = ( 87 × 46 × 575 ) / 23
LCM(87,46,575) = 2301150 / 23
LCM(87,46,575) = 100050
