Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 23,50,588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 23,50,588 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,84,234
2 | 53, 84, 234 |
3 | 53, 42, 117 |
53, 14, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 53 x 14 x 39 = 173628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/173628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/53,50/84,588/234 is 1/173628
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 53,84,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,84,234) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(53,84,234) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(53,84,234) = ( 53 × 84 × 234 ) / 6
LCM(53,84,234) = 1041768 / 6
LCM(53,84,234) = 173628
