So the greatest common factor 838,176,474 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,87,179
3 | 39, 87, 179 |
13, 29, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 29 x 179 = 202449
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/202449
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 838/39,176/87,474/179 is 2/202449
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 39,87,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,87,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(39,87,179) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(39,87,179) = ( 39 × 87 × 179 ) / 3
LCM(39,87,179) = 607347 / 3
LCM(39,87,179) = 202449
