So the greatest common factor 87,78,443 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,42,545
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1808310
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1808310
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/79,78/42,443/545 is 1/1808310
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 79,42,545 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,42,545) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,42,545) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,42,545) = ( 79 × 42 × 545 ) / 1
LCM(79,42,545) = 1808310 / 1
LCM(79,42,545) = 1808310
