So the greatest common factor 243,568,161 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 93,72,568
2 | 93, 72, 568 |
2 | 93, 36, 284 |
2 | 93, 18, 142 |
3 | 93, 9, 71 |
31, 3, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 31 x 3 x 71 = 158472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/158472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 243/93,568/72,161/568 is 1/158472
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 93,72,568 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(93,72,568) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(93,72,568) x common factors =1 x 24 = 24
LCM(93,72,568) = ( 93 × 72 × 568 ) / 24
LCM(93,72,568) = 3803328 / 24
LCM(93,72,568) = 158472
