Lets's calculate LCM of 673,897,392
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 236642952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/236642952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/673,552/897,927/392 is 3/236642952
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 673,897,392 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(673,897,392) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(673,897,392) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(673,897,392) = ( 673 × 897 × 392 ) / 1
LCM(673,897,392) = 236642952 / 1
LCM(673,897,392) = 236642952
