So the greatest common factor 21,496,816 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 713,118,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21622438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21622438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/713,496/118,816/257 is 1/21622438
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 713,118,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(713,118,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(713,118,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(713,118,257) = ( 713 × 118 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(713,118,257) = 21622438 / 1
LCM(713,118,257) = 21622438
