Lets's calculate LCM of 882,953,527
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 442967742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/442967742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/882,21/953,669/527 is 3/442967742
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 882,953,527 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(882,953,527) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(882,953,527) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(882,953,527) = ( 882 × 953 × 527 ) / 1
LCM(882,953,527) = 442967742 / 1
LCM(882,953,527) = 442967742
