Lets's calculate LCM of 161,921,843
3 | 161, 921, 843 |
161, 307, 281 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 161 x 307 x 281 = 41666961
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/41666961
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 234/161,282/921,952/843 is 2/41666961
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 161,921,843 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,921,843) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(161,921,843) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(161,921,843) = ( 161 × 921 × 843 ) / 3
LCM(161,921,843) = 125000883 / 3
LCM(161,921,843) = 41666961
