So the greatest common factor 38,40,896 is 2.

Lets's calculate LCM of 31,36,81

3 31, 36, 81
3 31, 12, 27
31, 4, 9

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 31 x 4 x 9 = 10044

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10044

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/31,40/36,896/81 is 2/10044

Least Common Multiple of 31,36,81 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 31,36,81 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 31,36,81 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(31,36,81) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 9

GCF(31,36,81) x common factors =1 x 9 = 9

LCM(31,36,81) = ( 31 × 36 × 81 ) / 9

LCM(31,36,81) = 90396 / 9

LCM(31,36,81) = 10044
