So the greatest common factor 21,254,375 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 472,207,852
2 | 472, 207, 852 |
2 | 236, 207, 426 |
3 | 118, 207, 213 |
118, 69, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 118 x 69 x 71 = 6936984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6936984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/472,254/207,375/852 is 1/6936984
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 472,207,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(472,207,852) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(472,207,852) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(472,207,852) = ( 472 × 207 × 852 ) / 12
LCM(472,207,852) = 83243808 / 12
LCM(472,207,852) = 6936984
