So the greatest common factor 68,120,281 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,38,171
3 | 87, 38, 171 |
19 | 29, 38, 57 |
29, 2, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 19 x 29 x 2 x 3 = 9918
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9918
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/87,120/38,281/171 is 1/9918
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 87,38,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,38,171) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 57
GCF(87,38,171) x common factors =1 x 57 = 57
LCM(87,38,171) = ( 87 × 38 × 171 ) / 57
LCM(87,38,171) = 565326 / 57
LCM(87,38,171) = 9918
