Lets's calculate LCM of 72,72,12
| 2 | 72, 72, 12 |
| 2 | 36, 36, 6 |
| 2 | 18, 18, 3 |
| 3 | 9, 9, 3 |
| 3 | 1, 3, 3 |
| 1, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 72
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/72
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 33/72,67/72,17/12 is 1/72
Least Common Multiple of 72,72,12 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 72,72,12 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,72,12) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 72
GCF(72,72,12) x common factors =12 x 72 = 864
LCM(72,72,12) = ( 72 × 72 × 12 ) / 864
LCM(72,72,12) = 62208 / 864
LCM(72,72,12) = 72
