So the greatest common factor 71,88,42 is 1.

Lets's calculate LCM of 84,24,56

2 84, 24, 56
2 42, 12, 28
2 21, 6, 14
3 21, 3, 7
7 7, 1, 7
1, 1, 1

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 168

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/168

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/84,88/24,42/56 is 1/168

Least Common Multiple of 84,24,56 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 84,24,56 with GCF Formula

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 84,24,56 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(84,24,56) = 4

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 168

GCF(84,24,56) x common factors =4 x 168 = 672

LCM(84,24,56) = ( 84 × 24 × 56 ) / 672

LCM(84,24,56) = 112896 / 672

LCM(84,24,56) = 168
