So the greatest common factor 53,79,144 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,134,568
2 | 212, 134, 568 |
2 | 106, 67, 284 |
53, 67, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 53 x 67 x 142 = 2016968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2016968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 53/212,79/134,144/568 is 1/2016968
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 212,134,568 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,134,568) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(212,134,568) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(212,134,568) = ( 212 × 134 × 568 ) / 8
LCM(212,134,568) = 16135744 / 8
LCM(212,134,568) = 2016968
