So the greatest common factor 72,49,321 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 277,108,609
3 | 277, 108, 609 |
277, 36, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 277 x 36 x 203 = 6072948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6072948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/277,49/108,321/609 is 1/6072948
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 277,108,609 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,108,609) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(277,108,609) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(277,108,609) = ( 277 × 108 × 609 ) / 3
LCM(277,108,609) = 18218844 / 3
LCM(277,108,609) = 6072948
