Lets's calculate LCM of 669,561,518
3 | 669, 561, 518 |
223, 187, 518 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 223 x 187 x 518 = 64803354
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/64803354
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/669,55/561,873/518 is 1/64803354
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 669,561,518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(669,561,518) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(669,561,518) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(669,561,518) = ( 669 × 561 × 518 ) / 3
LCM(669,561,518) = 194410062 / 3
LCM(669,561,518) = 64803354
