Lets's calculate LCM of 86,52,867
2 | 86, 52, 867 |
43, 26, 867 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 26 x 867 = 1938612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1938612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 224/86,472/52,250/867 is 2/1938612
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 86,52,867 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,52,867) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(86,52,867) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(86,52,867) = ( 86 × 52 × 867 ) / 2
LCM(86,52,867) = 3877224 / 2
LCM(86,52,867) = 1938612
