So the greatest common factor 87,921,540 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,45,878
5 | 35, 45, 878 |
7, 9, 878 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 7 x 9 x 878 = 276570
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/276570
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/35,921/45,540/878 is 3/276570
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 35,45,878 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,45,878) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(35,45,878) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(35,45,878) = ( 35 × 45 × 878 ) / 5
LCM(35,45,878) = 1382850 / 5
LCM(35,45,878) = 276570
