1,2,7,14,19,38,133,266
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 166,333,266 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 166,333,266 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,87,43
29 | 58, 87, 43 |
2, 3, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 2 x 3 x 43 = 7482
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7482
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 166/58,333/87,266/43 is 1/7482
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 58,87,43 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,87,43) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 29
GCF(58,87,43) x common factors =1 x 29 = 29
LCM(58,87,43) = ( 58 × 87 × 43 ) / 29
LCM(58,87,43) = 216978 / 29
LCM(58,87,43) = 7482
