So the greatest common factor 57,51,171 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 236,839,417
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 82567668
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/82567668
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/236,51/839,171/417 is 3/82567668
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 236,839,417 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(236,839,417) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(236,839,417) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(236,839,417) = ( 236 × 839 × 417 ) / 1
LCM(236,839,417) = 82567668 / 1
LCM(236,839,417) = 82567668
