So the greatest common factor 64,26,558 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 873,728,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149352840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/149352840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 64/873,26/728,558/235 is 2/149352840
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 873,728,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,728,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,728,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,728,235) = ( 873 × 728 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(873,728,235) = 149352840 / 1
LCM(873,728,235) = 149352840
