So the greatest common factor 84,38,132 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,419,552
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 62679048
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/62679048
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/271,38/419,132/552 is 2/62679048
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 271,419,552 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,419,552) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,419,552) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,419,552) = ( 271 × 419 × 552 ) / 1
LCM(271,419,552) = 62679048 / 1
LCM(271,419,552) = 62679048
