So the greatest common factor 561,286,407 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,68,471
3 | 27, 68, 471 |
9, 68, 157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 9 x 68 x 157 = 288252
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/288252
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 561/27,286/68,407/471 is 11/288252
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 27,68,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,68,471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(27,68,471) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(27,68,471) = ( 27 × 68 × 471 ) / 3
LCM(27,68,471) = 864756 / 3
LCM(27,68,471) = 288252
