We found the factors 87,13,862 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,13,862 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,116,363
2 | 16, 116, 363 |
2 | 8, 58, 363 |
4, 29, 363 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 4 x 29 x 363 = 168432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/168432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/16,13/116,862/363 is 1/168432
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 16,116,363 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,116,363) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(16,116,363) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(16,116,363) = ( 16 × 116 × 363 ) / 4
LCM(16,116,363) = 673728 / 4
LCM(16,116,363) = 168432
