Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 71,93,137 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 71,93,137 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 174,314,261
2 | 174, 314, 261 |
3 | 87, 157, 261 |
29 | 29, 157, 87 |
1, 157, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 29 x 1 x 157 x 3 = 81954
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/81954
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/174,93/314,137/261 is 1/81954
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 174,314,261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,314,261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 174
GCF(174,314,261) x common factors =1 x 174 = 174
LCM(174,314,261) = ( 174 × 314 × 261 ) / 174
LCM(174,314,261) = 14259996 / 174
LCM(174,314,261) = 81954
