Lets's calculate LCM of 187,542,739
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74900606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/74900606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 294/187,476/542,640/739 is 2/74900606
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 187,542,739 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,542,739) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,542,739) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(187,542,739) = ( 187 × 542 × 739 ) / 1
LCM(187,542,739) = 74900606 / 1
LCM(187,542,739) = 74900606
