Lets's calculate LCM of 175,149,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12854975
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/12854975
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/175,837/149,852/493 is 3/12854975
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 175,149,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(175,149,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(175,149,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(175,149,493) = ( 175 × 149 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(175,149,493) = 12854975 / 1
LCM(175,149,493) = 12854975
