So the greatest common factor 87,72,126 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 845,743,463
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 290687605
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/290687605
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/845,72/743,126/463 is 3/290687605
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 845,743,463 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(845,743,463) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(845,743,463) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(845,743,463) = ( 845 × 743 × 463 ) / 1
LCM(845,743,463) = 290687605 / 1
LCM(845,743,463) = 290687605
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
