Lets's calculate LCM of 140,673,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23837660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23837660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/140,76/673,509/253 is 1/23837660
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 140,673,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(140,673,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(140,673,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(140,673,253) = ( 140 × 673 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(140,673,253) = 23837660 / 1
LCM(140,673,253) = 23837660
