So the greatest common factor 687,261,546 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 882,679,756
| 2 | 882, 679, 756 |
| 3 | 441, 679, 378 |
| 3 | 147, 679, 126 |
| 7 | 49, 679, 42 |
| 7, 97, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7 x 97 x 6 = 513324
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/513324
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 687/882,261/679,546/756 is 3/513324
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 882,679,756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(882,679,756) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 126
GCF(882,679,756) x common factors =7 x 126 = 882
LCM(882,679,756) = ( 882 × 679 × 756 ) / 882
LCM(882,679,756) = 452751768 / 882
LCM(882,679,756) = 513324
