Lets's calculate LCM of 257,268,863
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 59439988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59439988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/257,68/268,309/863 is 1/59439988
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 257,268,863 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,268,863) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,268,863) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,268,863) = ( 257 × 268 × 863 ) / 1
LCM(257,268,863) = 59439988 / 1
LCM(257,268,863) = 59439988
