So the greatest common factor 86,78,280 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,56,990
2 | 81, 56, 990 |
3 | 81, 28, 495 |
3 | 27, 28, 165 |
9, 28, 55 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 9 x 28 x 55 = 249480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/249480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 86/81,78/56,280/990 is 2/249480
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 81,56,990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,56,990) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 18
GCF(81,56,990) x common factors =1 x 18 = 18
LCM(81,56,990) = ( 81 × 56 × 990 ) / 18
LCM(81,56,990) = 4490640 / 18
LCM(81,56,990) = 249480
