Lets's calculate LCM of 260,289,498
2 | 260, 289, 498 |
130, 289, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 130 x 289 x 249 = 18709860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18709860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 521/260,921/289,203/498 is 1/18709860
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 260,289,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(260,289,498) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(260,289,498) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(260,289,498) = ( 260 × 289 × 498 ) / 2
LCM(260,289,498) = 37419720 / 2
LCM(260,289,498) = 18709860
