So the greatest common factor 64,76,172 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 128,455,451
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26266240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/26266240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 64/128,76/455,172/451 is 4/26266240
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 128,455,451 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(128,455,451) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(128,455,451) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(128,455,451) = ( 128 × 455 × 451 ) / 1
LCM(128,455,451) = 26266240 / 1
LCM(128,455,451) = 26266240
