Lets's calculate LCM of 277,973,791
7 | 277, 973, 791 |
277, 139, 113 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 277 x 139 x 113 = 30455873
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/30455873
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/277,176/973,102/791 is 2/30455873
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 277,973,791 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,973,791) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 7
GCF(277,973,791) x common factors =1 x 7 = 7
LCM(277,973,791) = ( 277 × 973 × 791 ) / 7
LCM(277,973,791) = 213191111 / 7
LCM(277,973,791) = 30455873
