So the greatest common factor 500,557,916 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,387,520
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 54536040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/54536040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 500/271,557/387,916/520 is 1/54536040
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 271,387,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,387,520) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,387,520) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,387,520) = ( 271 × 387 × 520 ) / 1
LCM(271,387,520) = 54536040 / 1
LCM(271,387,520) = 54536040
