So the greatest common factor 55,88,286 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,864,185
2 | 66, 864, 185 |
3 | 33, 432, 185 |
11, 144, 185 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 11 x 144 x 185 = 1758240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/1758240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/66,88/864,286/185 is 11/1758240
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 66,864,185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,864,185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(66,864,185) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(66,864,185) = ( 66 × 864 × 185 ) / 6
LCM(66,864,185) = 10549440 / 6
LCM(66,864,185) = 1758240
