Lets's calculate LCM of 432,251,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38927088
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38927088
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 537/432,608/251,728/359 is 1/38927088
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 432,251,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(432,251,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(432,251,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(432,251,359) = ( 432 × 251 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(432,251,359) = 38927088 / 1
LCM(432,251,359) = 38927088
