Lets's calculate LCM of 787,713,886
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 497162066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/497162066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 402/787,842/713,574/886 is 2/497162066
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 787,713,886 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,713,886) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,713,886) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,713,886) = ( 787 × 713 × 886 ) / 1
LCM(787,713,886) = 497162066 / 1
LCM(787,713,886) = 497162066
