Lets's calculate LCM of 249,196,855
3 | 249, 196, 855 |
83, 196, 285 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 83 x 196 x 285 = 13909140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13909140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/249,33/196,973/855 is 1/13909140
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 249,196,855 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(249,196,855) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(249,196,855) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(249,196,855) = ( 249 × 196 × 855 ) / 3
LCM(249,196,855) = 41727420 / 3
LCM(249,196,855) = 13909140
