So the greatest common factor 26,86,942 is 2.

Lets's calculate LCM of 84,21,86

2 84, 21, 86
3 42, 21, 43
7 14, 7, 43
2, 1, 43

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 2 x 1 x 43 = 3612

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3612

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/84,86/21,942/86 is 2/3612

Least Common Multiple of 84,21,86 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 84,21,86 with GCF Formula

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 84,21,86 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(84,21,86) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 42

GCF(84,21,86) x common factors =1 x 42 = 42

LCM(84,21,86) = ( 84 × 21 × 86 ) / 42

LCM(84,21,86) = 151704 / 42

LCM(84,21,86) = 3612
