Lets's calculate LCM of 189,543,946
3 | 189, 543, 946 |
63, 181, 946 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 63 x 181 x 946 = 32361714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/32361714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/189,663/543,801/946 is 3/32361714
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 189,543,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(189,543,946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(189,543,946) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(189,543,946) = ( 189 × 543 × 946 ) / 3
LCM(189,543,946) = 97085142 / 3
LCM(189,543,946) = 32361714
