Lets's calculate LCM of 417,289,233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28079529
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/28079529
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/417,30/289,975/233 is 3/28079529
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 417,289,233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(417,289,233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(417,289,233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(417,289,233) = ( 417 × 289 × 233 ) / 1
LCM(417,289,233) = 28079529 / 1
LCM(417,289,233) = 28079529
