Lets's calculate LCM of 163,197,133
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4270763
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4270763
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/163,261/197,973/133 is 1/4270763
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 163,197,133 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(163,197,133) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(163,197,133) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(163,197,133) = ( 163 × 197 × 133 ) / 1
LCM(163,197,133) = 4270763 / 1
LCM(163,197,133) = 4270763
