Lets's calculate LCM of 47,299,744
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10455432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10455432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/47,16/299,143/744 is 1/10455432
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 47,299,744 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,299,744) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,299,744) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,299,744) = ( 47 × 299 × 744 ) / 1
LCM(47,299,744) = 10455432 / 1
LCM(47,299,744) = 10455432
