So the greatest common factor 92,176,278 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,21,184
3 | 87, 21, 184 |
29, 7, 184 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 7 x 184 = 112056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/112056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 92/87,176/21,278/184 is 2/112056
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 87,21,184 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,21,184) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(87,21,184) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(87,21,184) = ( 87 × 21 × 184 ) / 3
LCM(87,21,184) = 336168 / 3
LCM(87,21,184) = 112056
