So the greatest common factor 43,37,308 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 861,353,181
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 55011873
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/55011873
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/861,37/353,308/181 is 1/55011873
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 861,353,181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,353,181) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,353,181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(861,353,181) = ( 861 × 353 × 181 ) / 1
LCM(861,353,181) = 55011873 / 1
LCM(861,353,181) = 55011873
