Lets's calculate LCM of 479,589,512
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 144451072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/144451072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/479,50/589,873/512 is 1/144451072
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 479,589,512 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(479,589,512) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(479,589,512) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(479,589,512) = ( 479 × 589 × 512 ) / 1
LCM(479,589,512) = 144451072 / 1
LCM(479,589,512) = 144451072
