We found the factors 87,220,950 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,220,950 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 228,716,201
2 | 228, 716, 201 |
2 | 114, 358, 201 |
3 | 57, 179, 201 |
19, 179, 67 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 179 x 67 = 2734404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2734404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/228,220/716,950/201 is 1/2734404
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 228,716,201 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(228,716,201) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(228,716,201) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(228,716,201) = ( 228 × 716 × 201 ) / 12
LCM(228,716,201) = 32812848 / 12
LCM(228,716,201) = 2734404
