So the greatest common factor 87,318,516 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,54,946
2 | 88, 54, 946 |
11 | 44, 27, 473 |
4, 27, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 4 x 27 x 43 = 102168
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/102168
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/88,318/54,516/946 is 3/102168
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 88,54,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,54,946) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 22
GCF(88,54,946) x common factors =2 x 22 = 44
LCM(88,54,946) = ( 88 × 54 × 946 ) / 44
LCM(88,54,946) = 4495392 / 44
LCM(88,54,946) = 102168
