So the greatest common factor 15,48,837 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 405,487,769
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 151673715
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/151673715
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/405,48/487,837/769 is 3/151673715
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 405,487,769 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(405,487,769) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(405,487,769) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(405,487,769) = ( 405 × 487 × 769 ) / 1
LCM(405,487,769) = 151673715 / 1
LCM(405,487,769) = 151673715
