So the greatest common factor 86,972,859 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,38,146
2 | 46, 38, 146 |
23, 19, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 19 x 73 = 63802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/63802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/46,972/38,859/146 is 1/63802
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 46,38,146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,38,146) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(46,38,146) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(46,38,146) = ( 46 × 38 × 146 ) / 4
LCM(46,38,146) = 255208 / 4
LCM(46,38,146) = 63802
