Lets's calculate LCM of 37,17,846
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 532134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/532134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 846/37,537/17,711/846 is 3/532134
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 37,17,846 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,17,846) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,17,846) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,17,846) = ( 37 × 17 × 846 ) / 1
LCM(37,17,846) = 532134 / 1
LCM(37,17,846) = 532134
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
