So the greatest common factor 51,243,543 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 899,311,287
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 80242043
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/80242043
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/899,243/311,543/287 is 3/80242043
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 899,311,287 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(899,311,287) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(899,311,287) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(899,311,287) = ( 899 × 311 × 287 ) / 1
LCM(899,311,287) = 80242043 / 1
LCM(899,311,287) = 80242043
