Lets's calculate LCM of 989,201,100
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19878900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19878900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 232/989,378/201,598/100 is 2/19878900
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 989,201,100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(989,201,100) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(989,201,100) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(989,201,100) = ( 989 × 201 × 100 ) / 1
LCM(989,201,100) = 19878900 / 1
LCM(989,201,100) = 19878900
