Lets's calculate LCM of 851,947,267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 215174499
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/215174499
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 988/851,256/947,262/267 is 2/215174499
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 851,947,267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,947,267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,947,267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,947,267) = ( 851 × 947 × 267 ) / 1
LCM(851,947,267) = 215174499 / 1
LCM(851,947,267) = 215174499
