We found the factors 84,86,532 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 84,86,532 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,232,353
29 | 87, 232, 353 |
3, 8, 353 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 3 x 8 x 353 = 245688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/245688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/87,86/232,532/353 is 2/245688
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 87,232,353 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,232,353) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 29
GCF(87,232,353) x common factors =1 x 29 = 29
LCM(87,232,353) = ( 87 × 232 × 353 ) / 29
LCM(87,232,353) = 7124952 / 29
LCM(87,232,353) = 245688
