So the greatest common factor 17,846,405 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 129,555,187
3 | 129, 555, 187 |
43, 185, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 43 x 185 x 187 = 4462755
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4462755
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/129,846/555,405/187 is 1/4462755
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 129,555,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(129,555,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(129,555,187) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(129,555,187) = ( 129 × 555 × 187 ) / 3
LCM(129,555,187) = 13388265 / 3
LCM(129,555,187) = 4462755
