Lets's calculate LCM of 287,879,275
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 69375075
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/69375075
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/287,592/879,140/275 is 2/69375075
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 287,879,275 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,879,275) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,879,275) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,879,275) = ( 287 × 879 × 275 ) / 1
LCM(287,879,275) = 69375075 / 1
LCM(287,879,275) = 69375075
