Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 207,621,156 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 207,621,156 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 78,31,33
3 | 78, 31, 33 |
26, 31, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 26 x 31 x 11 = 26598
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/26598
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 207/78,621/31,156/33 is 3/26598
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 78,31,33 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(78,31,33) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(78,31,33) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(78,31,33) = ( 78 × 31 × 33 ) / 3
LCM(78,31,33) = 79794 / 3
LCM(78,31,33) = 26598
