So the greatest common factor 88,64,639 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 159,242,968
2 | 159, 242, 968 |
11 | 159, 121, 484 |
11 | 159, 11, 44 |
159, 1, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 11 x 159 x 1 x 4 = 153912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/153912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/159,64/242,639/968 is 1/153912
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 159,242,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,242,968) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 242
GCF(159,242,968) x common factors =1 x 242 = 242
LCM(159,242,968) = ( 159 × 242 × 968 ) / 242
LCM(159,242,968) = 37246704 / 242
LCM(159,242,968) = 153912
