Lets's calculate LCM of 881,178,601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 94247618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/94247618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/881,756/178,780/601 is 12/94247618
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 881,178,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(881,178,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(881,178,601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(881,178,601) = ( 881 × 178 × 601 ) / 1
LCM(881,178,601) = 94247618 / 1
LCM(881,178,601) = 94247618
