So the greatest common factor 88,425,203 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,52,141
2 | 72, 52, 141 |
2 | 36, 26, 141 |
3 | 18, 13, 141 |
6, 13, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 6 x 13 x 47 = 43992
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43992
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/72,425/52,203/141 is 1/43992
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 72,52,141 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,52,141) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(72,52,141) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(72,52,141) = ( 72 × 52 × 141 ) / 12
LCM(72,52,141) = 527904 / 12
LCM(72,52,141) = 43992
