So the greatest common factor 628,508,140 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,97,28
2 | 86, 97, 28 |
43, 97, 14 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 43 x 97 x 14 = 116788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/116788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 628/86,508/97,140/28 is 4/116788
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 86,97,28 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,97,28) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(86,97,28) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(86,97,28) = ( 86 × 97 × 28 ) / 2
LCM(86,97,28) = 233576 / 2
LCM(86,97,28) = 116788
