Lets's calculate LCM of 278,457,233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29601718
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29601718
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 97/278,27/457,968/233 is 1/29601718
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 278,457,233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,457,233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,457,233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(278,457,233) = ( 278 × 457 × 233 ) / 1
LCM(278,457,233) = 29601718 / 1
LCM(278,457,233) = 29601718
