So the greatest common factor 18,75,216 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 255,216,326
2 | 255, 216, 326 |
3 | 255, 108, 163 |
85, 36, 163 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 85 x 36 x 163 = 2992680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2992680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/255,75/216,216/326 is 3/2992680
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 255,216,326 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,216,326) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(255,216,326) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(255,216,326) = ( 255 × 216 × 326 ) / 6
LCM(255,216,326) = 17956080 / 6
LCM(255,216,326) = 2992680
