Greatest Common Factor

We found the factors 84,72,876 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 84,72,876 is 12.

Lets's calculate LCM of 17,79,51

17 17, 79, 51
1, 79, 3

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 1 x 79 x 3 = 4029

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/4029

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/17,72/79,876/51 is 12/4029

Least Common Multiple of 17,79,51 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 17,79,51 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 17,79,51 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(17,79,51) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 17

GCF(17,79,51) x common factors =1 x 17 = 17

LCM(17,79,51) = ( 17 × 79 × 51 ) / 17

LCM(17,79,51) = 68493 / 17

LCM(17,79,51) = 4029
