So the greatest common factor 84,66,640 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 185,116,873
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18734580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/18734580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/185,66/116,640/873 is 2/18734580
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 185,116,873 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(185,116,873) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(185,116,873) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(185,116,873) = ( 185 × 116 × 873 ) / 1
LCM(185,116,873) = 18734580 / 1
LCM(185,116,873) = 18734580
