Finding Average of 6/12, 17/86, 2 5/9

Given fractions are 6/12,17/86,23/9

The LCM of 12,86,9 (denominators of the fractions) is 1548

Finding LCM of 12,86,9 by Common Division

Arrange the Inputs 12,86,9 in a horizontal line separated by commas and divide them with a prime number. Note the quotients in the next row and divide with quotients with prime numbers again. Continue the process until you have all co primes in the last.

2 12, 86, 9
3 6, 43, 9
2, 43, 3

As all the numbers left in the last row are co primes you need not do the common division process further.

To obtain the Least Common Multiple, multiply the prime numbers with which you have divided the given numbers and the co primes in the last row i.e. 2 x 3 x 2 x 43 x 3 = 1548

Therefore, LCM of 12,86,9 is 1548

Finding LCM of 12,86,9 using GCF Formula

Step1:

Let's calculate the LCM of first two numbers

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a x b) / GCF(a,b)

GCF(12, 86) = 2

LCM(12, 86) = ( 12 x 86 ) / 2

LCM(12, 86) = 1032 / 2

LCM(12, 86) = 516


Step2:

Here we consider the LCM from the above i.e. 516 as first number and the next as 9

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a x b) / GCF(a,b)

GCF(516, 9) = 3

LCM(516, 9) = ( 516 x 9 ) / 3

LCM(516, 9) = 4644 / 3

LCM(516, 9) = 1548

LCM of 12,86,9 is 1548

The least common Multiple (LCM) is: 1548.

Rewriting as equivalent fractions with the LCM:

= 774/1548,306/1548,3956/1548

= 774+306+3956/1548

Totaling the numerator:

5036/1548

Reducing the fraction:

1259/387

Dividing by the number of values: 3

The given fractions are 1259/387 and 3/1

On dividing the both fractions,1259/387 ÷ 3/1

Then the denominator of the first fraction i.e., 387 will comes to the numerator of the second fraction and gets multiplied,

And in the same way,the denominator of the second fraction i.e., 1 will comes to the numerator of the first fraction and gets multiplied:

1259/387 ÷ 3/1 = 1259 x 1/387 x 3

On Multiplying the denominators and the numerators,the fraction value we get,

1259/1161

Result: 1259/1161

Average of fraction = 1259/1161
