So the greatest common factor 96,224,672 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,37,503
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279165
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/279165
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/15,224/37,672/503 is 32/279165
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 15,37,503 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,37,503) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,37,503) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,37,503) = ( 15 × 37 × 503 ) / 1
LCM(15,37,503) = 279165 / 1
LCM(15,37,503) = 279165
