So the greatest common factor 436,220,708 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,32,164
2 | 86, 32, 164 |
2 | 43, 16, 82 |
43, 8, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 43 x 8 x 41 = 56416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/56416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 436/86,220/32,708/164 is 4/56416
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 86,32,164 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,32,164) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(86,32,164) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(86,32,164) = ( 86 × 32 × 164 ) / 8
LCM(86,32,164) = 451328 / 8
LCM(86,32,164) = 56416
