So the greatest common factor 71,24,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 697,255,558
3 | 697, 255, 558 |
17 | 697, 85, 186 |
41, 5, 186 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 17 x 41 x 5 x 186 = 1944630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1944630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/697,24/255,173/558 is 1/1944630
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 697,255,558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(697,255,558) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 51
GCF(697,255,558) x common factors =1 x 51 = 51
LCM(697,255,558) = ( 697 × 255 × 558 ) / 51
LCM(697,255,558) = 99176130 / 51
LCM(697,255,558) = 1944630
