So the greatest common factor 48,46,789 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 851,657,731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 408707217
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/408707217
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/851,46/657,789/731 is 1/408707217
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 851,657,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,657,731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,657,731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,657,731) = ( 851 × 657 × 731 ) / 1
LCM(851,657,731) = 408707217 / 1
LCM(851,657,731) = 408707217
