So the greatest common factor 84,52,461 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 256,837,731
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 156632832
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/156632832
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/256,52/837,461/731 is 1/156632832
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 256,837,731 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(256,837,731) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(256,837,731) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(256,837,731) = ( 256 × 837 × 731 ) / 1
LCM(256,837,731) = 156632832 / 1
LCM(256,837,731) = 156632832
