So the greatest common factor 48,14,842 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 591,497,275
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 80774925
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/80774925
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/591,14/497,842/275 is 2/80774925
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 591,497,275 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(591,497,275) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(591,497,275) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(591,497,275) = ( 591 × 497 × 275 ) / 1
LCM(591,497,275) = 80774925 / 1
LCM(591,497,275) = 80774925
