Lets's calculate LCM of 421,979,921
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 379598439
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/379598439
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/421,962/979,869/921 is 1/379598439
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 421,979,921 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,979,921) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,979,921) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,979,921) = ( 421 × 979 × 921 ) / 1
LCM(421,979,921) = 379598439 / 1
LCM(421,979,921) = 379598439
