Lets's calculate LCM of 521,893,114
19 | 521, 893, 114 |
521, 47, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 521 x 47 x 6 = 2791518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2791518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/521,72/893,309/114 is 1/2791518
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 521,893,114 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,893,114) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 19
GCF(521,893,114) x common factors =1 x 19 = 19
LCM(521,893,114) = ( 521 × 893 × 114 ) / 19
LCM(521,893,114) = 53038842 / 19
LCM(521,893,114) = 2791518
