So the greatest common factor 51,84,165 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 185,671,228
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28302780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/28302780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/185,84/671,165/228 is 3/28302780
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 185,671,228 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(185,671,228) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(185,671,228) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(185,671,228) = ( 185 × 671 × 228 ) / 1
LCM(185,671,228) = 28302780 / 1
LCM(185,671,228) = 28302780
