So the greatest common factor 280,738,580 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,22,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1862322
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1862322
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/87,738/22,580/973 is 2/1862322
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 87,22,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,22,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,22,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,22,973) = ( 87 × 22 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(87,22,973) = 1862322 / 1
LCM(87,22,973) = 1862322
