Lets's calculate LCM of 37,83,560
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1719760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1719760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 80/37,150/83,972/560 is 2/1719760
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 37,83,560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,83,560) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,83,560) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,83,560) = ( 37 × 83 × 560 ) / 1
LCM(37,83,560) = 1719760 / 1
LCM(37,83,560) = 1719760
