GCF of:

Greatest Common Factor of 15/74,57/78,231/87

Given fractions are 15/74,57/78,231/87

Formula to find GCF of Fractions is

GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators

As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators

In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 15,57,231

Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 15,57,231 is 3 .

LCM of Denominators means LCM of 74,78,87 as per the given fractions.

LCM of 74,78,87 is 83694 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.

Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 15,57,231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,57,231 is 3.

Lets's calculate LCM of 74,78,87

2 74, 78, 87
3 37, 39, 87
37, 13, 29

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 37 x 13 x 29 = 83694

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/83694

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/74,57/78,231/87 is 3/83694

Least Common Multiple of 74,78,87 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 74,78,87 with GCF Formula

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 74,78,87 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(74,78,87) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6

GCF(74,78,87) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6

LCM(74,78,87) = ( 74 × 78 × 87 ) / 6

LCM(74,78,87) = 502164 / 6

LCM(74,78,87) = 83694
