So the greatest common factor 552,117,378 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,19,87
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 115710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/115710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 552/70,117/19,378/87 is 3/115710
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 70,19,87 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,19,87) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,19,87) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(70,19,87) = ( 70 × 19 × 87 ) / 1
LCM(70,19,87) = 115710 / 1
LCM(70,19,87) = 115710
