Lets's calculate LCM of 837,598,391
23 | 837, 598, 391 |
837, 26, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 23 x 837 x 26 x 17 = 8508942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/8508942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/837,33/598,162/391 is 3/8508942
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 837,598,391 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,598,391) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 23
GCF(837,598,391) x common factors =1 x 23 = 23
LCM(837,598,391) = ( 837 × 598 × 391 ) / 23
LCM(837,598,391) = 195705666 / 23
LCM(837,598,391) = 8508942
