Lets's calculate LCM of 53,86,126
2 | 53, 86, 126 |
53, 43, 63 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 53 x 43 x 63 = 287154
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 21/287154
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 336/53,189/86,987/126 is 21/287154
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 53,86,126 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,86,126) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(53,86,126) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(53,86,126) = ( 53 × 86 × 126 ) / 2
LCM(53,86,126) = 574308 / 2
LCM(53,86,126) = 287154
