Lets's calculate LCM of 72,48,420
| 2 | 72, 48, 420 |
| 2 | 36, 24, 210 |
| 2 | 18, 12, 105 |
| 3 | 9, 6, 105 |
| 3, 2, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 35 = 5040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 13/72,15/48,600/420 is 1/5040
Least Common Multiple of 72,48,420 with GCF Formula
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 72,48,420 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,48,420) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(72,48,420) x common factors =12 x 24 = 288
LCM(72,48,420) = ( 72 × 48 × 420 ) / 288
LCM(72,48,420) = 1451520 / 288
LCM(72,48,420) = 5040
