So the greatest common factor 54,249,960 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 589,661,724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 281874196
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/281874196
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 54/589,249/661,960/724 is 3/281874196
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 589,661,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(589,661,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(589,661,724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(589,661,724) = ( 589 × 661 × 724 ) / 1
LCM(589,661,724) = 281874196 / 1
LCM(589,661,724) = 281874196
