Lets's calculate LCM of 79,97,734
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5624642
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/5624642
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 84/79,240/97,534/734 is 6/5624642
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 79,97,734 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,97,734) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,97,734) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,97,734) = ( 79 × 97 × 734 ) / 1
LCM(79,97,734) = 5624642 / 1
LCM(79,97,734) = 5624642
