So the greatest common factor 35,73,342 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 489,551,121
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32602119
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/32602119
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 35/489,73/551,342/121 is 1/32602119
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 489,551,121 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(489,551,121) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(489,551,121) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(489,551,121) = ( 489 × 551 × 121 ) / 1
LCM(489,551,121) = 32602119 / 1
LCM(489,551,121) = 32602119
