Lets's calculate LCM of 64,32,740
| 2 | 64, 32, 740 |
| 2 | 32, 16, 370 |
| 2 | 8, 16, 185 |
| 2 | 4, 8, 185 |
| 2 | 2, 4, 185 |
| 1, 2, 185 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 1 x 2 x 185 = 11840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11840

Least Common Multiple of 64,32,740 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 64,32,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,32,740) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 32
GCF(64,32,740) x common factors =4 x 32 = 128
LCM(64,32,740) = ( 64 × 32 × 740 ) / 128
LCM(64,32,740) = 1515520 / 128
LCM(64,32,740) = 11840
