Lets's calculate LCM of 72,76,456
| 2 | 72, 76, 456 |
| 2 | 36, 38, 228 |
| 2 | 18, 19, 114 |
| 3 | 9, 19, 57 |
| 19 | 3, 19, 19 |
| 3, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 19 x 3 x 1 x 1 = 1368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 81/72,73/76,994/456 is 1/1368
Least Common Multiple of 72,76,456 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 72,76,456 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,76,456) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 456
GCF(72,76,456) x common factors =4 x 456 = 1824
LCM(72,76,456) = ( 72 × 76 × 456 ) / 1824
LCM(72,76,456) = 2495232 / 1824
LCM(72,76,456) = 1368
