Lets's calculate LCM of 761,662,271
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 136524922
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/136524922
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/761,244/662,684/271 is 4/136524922
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 761,662,271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(761,662,271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(761,662,271) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(761,662,271) = ( 761 × 662 × 271 ) / 1
LCM(761,662,271) = 136524922 / 1
LCM(761,662,271) = 136524922
