So the greatest common factor 33,28,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 493,529,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51377009
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51377009
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 33/493,28/529,261/197 is 1/51377009
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 493,529,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,529,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,529,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,529,197) = ( 493 × 529 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(493,529,197) = 51377009 / 1
LCM(493,529,197) = 51377009
