So the greatest common factor 60,25,246 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,66,897
2 | 16, 66, 897 |
3 | 8, 33, 897 |
8, 11, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 8 x 11 x 299 = 157872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/157872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/16,25/66,246/897 is 1/157872
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 16,66,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,66,897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(16,66,897) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(16,66,897) = ( 16 × 66 × 897 ) / 6
LCM(16,66,897) = 947232 / 6
LCM(16,66,897) = 157872
