So the greatest common factor 98,189,968 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,73,688
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2360528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2360528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/47,189/73,968/688 is 1/2360528
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 47,73,688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,73,688) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,73,688) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,73,688) = ( 47 × 73 × 688 ) / 1
LCM(47,73,688) = 2360528 / 1
LCM(47,73,688) = 2360528
