Lets's calculate LCM of 251,662,886
2 | 251, 662, 886 |
251, 331, 443 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 251 x 331 x 443 = 73609766
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/73609766
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/251,63/662,312/886 is 3/73609766
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 251,662,886 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(251,662,886) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(251,662,886) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(251,662,886) = ( 251 × 662 × 886 ) / 2
LCM(251,662,886) = 147219532 / 2
LCM(251,662,886) = 73609766
