Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 86,18,559 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 86,18,559 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 215,387,147
3 | 215, 387, 147 |
43 | 215, 129, 49 |
5, 3, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 43 x 5 x 3 x 49 = 94815
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/94815
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/215,18/387,559/147 is 1/94815
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 215,387,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(215,387,147) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 129
GCF(215,387,147) x common factors =1 x 129 = 129
LCM(215,387,147) = ( 215 × 387 × 147 ) / 129
LCM(215,387,147) = 12231135 / 129
LCM(215,387,147) = 94815
