Lets's calculate LCM of 727,949,231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159372213
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/159372213
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/727,56/949,663/231 is 1/159372213
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 727,949,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(727,949,231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(727,949,231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(727,949,231) = ( 727 × 949 × 231 ) / 1
LCM(727,949,231) = 159372213 / 1
LCM(727,949,231) = 159372213
