So the greatest common factor 79,16,861 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 223,239,114
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6075858
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6075858
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 79/223,16/239,861/114 is 1/6075858
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 223,239,114 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(223,239,114) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(223,239,114) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(223,239,114) = ( 223 × 239 × 114 ) / 1
LCM(223,239,114) = 6075858 / 1
LCM(223,239,114) = 6075858
