Lets's calculate LCM of 476,321,391
17 | 476, 321, 391 |
28, 321, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 28 x 321 x 23 = 3514308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3514308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 273/476,471/321,186/391 is 3/3514308
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 476,321,391 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(476,321,391) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 17
GCF(476,321,391) x common factors =1 x 17 = 17
LCM(476,321,391) = ( 476 × 321 × 391 ) / 17
LCM(476,321,391) = 59743236 / 17
LCM(476,321,391) = 3514308
