So the greatest common factor 42,492,912 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 597,757,881
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 398149449
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/398149449
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/597,492/757,912/881 is 6/398149449
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 597,757,881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(597,757,881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(597,757,881) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(597,757,881) = ( 597 × 757 × 881 ) / 1
LCM(597,757,881) = 398149449 / 1
LCM(597,757,881) = 398149449
