Lets's calculate LCM of 101,489,987
3 | 101, 489, 987 |
101, 163, 329 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 101 x 163 x 329 = 16248981
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16248981
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 991/101,340/489,979/987 is 1/16248981
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 101,489,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(101,489,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(101,489,987) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(101,489,987) = ( 101 × 489 × 987 ) / 3
LCM(101,489,987) = 48746943 / 3
LCM(101,489,987) = 16248981
