Lets's calculate LCM of 178,749,547
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 72927134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/72927134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 360/178,657/749,534/547 is 3/72927134
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 178,749,547 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,749,547) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,749,547) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(178,749,547) = ( 178 × 749 × 547 ) / 1
LCM(178,749,547) = 72927134 / 1
LCM(178,749,547) = 72927134
