So the greatest common factor 72,587,844 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,540,710
2 | 721, 540, 710 |
5 | 721, 270, 355 |
721, 54, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 721 x 54 x 71 = 27643140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27643140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/721,587/540,844/710 is 1/27643140
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 721,540,710 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,540,710) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10
GCF(721,540,710) x common factors =1 x 10 = 10
LCM(721,540,710) = ( 721 × 540 × 710 ) / 10
LCM(721,540,710) = 276431400 / 10
LCM(721,540,710) = 27643140
