So the greatest common factor 5,21,17,126 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,89,211,593
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133631364
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/133631364
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/12,21/89,17/211,126/593 is 1/133631364
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 12,89,211,593 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,89,211,593) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,89,211,593) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,89,211,593) = ( 12 × 89 × 211 × 593 ) / 1
LCM(12,89,211,593) = 133631364 / 1
LCM(12,89,211,593) = 133631364
