So the greatest common factor 501,207,321 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 151,597,117
| 3 | 151, 597, 117 |
| 151, 199, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 151 x 199 x 39 = 3515733
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3515733
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 501/151,207/597,321/117 is 3/3515733
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 151,597,117 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(151,597,117) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(151,597,117) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(151,597,117) = ( 151 × 597 × 117 ) / 3
LCM(151,597,117) = 10547199 / 3
LCM(151,597,117) = 3515733
