So the greatest common factor 51,58,486 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,163,374
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15667234
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/15667234
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/257,58/163,486/374 is 1/15667234
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 257,163,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,163,374) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,163,374) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,163,374) = ( 257 × 163 × 374 ) / 1
LCM(257,163,374) = 15667234 / 1
LCM(257,163,374) = 15667234
