So the greatest common factor 421,860,318 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,12,357
2 | 88, 12, 357 |
2 | 44, 6, 357 |
3 | 22, 3, 357 |
22, 1, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 22 x 1 x 119 = 31416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/31416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 421/88,860/12,318/357 is 1/31416
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 88,12,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,12,357) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(88,12,357) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(88,12,357) = ( 88 × 12 × 357 ) / 12
LCM(88,12,357) = 376992 / 12
LCM(88,12,357) = 31416
