Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 98,59,68 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 98,59,68 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,88,86
2 | 59, 88, 86 |
59, 44, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 59 x 44 x 43 = 223256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/223256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/59,59/88,68/86 is 1/223256
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 59,88,86 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,88,86) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(59,88,86) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(59,88,86) = ( 59 × 88 × 86 ) / 2
LCM(59,88,86) = 446512 / 2
LCM(59,88,86) = 223256
