Lets's calculate LCM of 378,937,713
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 252534618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/252534618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/378,768/937,221/713 is 1/252534618
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 378,937,713 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,937,713) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,937,713) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(378,937,713) = ( 378 × 937 × 713 ) / 1
LCM(378,937,713) = 252534618 / 1
LCM(378,937,713) = 252534618
