The HCF of 87,84,861 is 3.
Lets's calculate GCF of 87,84,861
3 | 87, 84, 861 |
29, 28, 287 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Now, list down the factors of 87
:1,3,29,87
Now, list down the factors of 84
:1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84
Now, list down the factors of 861
:1,3,7,21,41,123,287,861
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,84,861 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,84,861 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,76,94
2 | 23, 76, 94 |
23, 38, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 38 x 47 = 82156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/82156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/23,84/76,861/94 is 3/82156
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 23,76,94 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,76,94) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(23,76,94) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(23,76,94) = ( 23 × 76 × 94 ) / 2
LCM(23,76,94) = 164312 / 2
LCM(23,76,94) = 82156
