Lets's calculate LCM of 389,639,998
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 248073858
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/248073858
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 68/389,34/639,874/998 is 2/248073858
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 389,639,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(389,639,998) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(389,639,998) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(389,639,998) = ( 389 × 639 × 998 ) / 1
LCM(389,639,998) = 248073858 / 1
LCM(389,639,998) = 248073858
