Lets's calculate LCM of 874,698,861
2 | 874, 698, 861 |
437, 349, 861 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 437 x 349 x 861 = 262627386
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/262627386
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/874,15/698,315/861 is 1/262627386
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 874,698,861 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,698,861) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(874,698,861) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(874,698,861) = ( 874 × 698 × 861 ) / 2
LCM(874,698,861) = 525254772 / 2
LCM(874,698,861) = 262627386
