Lets's calculate LCM of 72,40,15,165

2 72, 40, 15, 165
2 36, 20, 15, 165
2 18, 10, 15, 165
3 9, 5, 15, 165
5 3, 5, 5, 55
3, 1, 1, 11

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 11 = 3960

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3960

Least Common Multiple of 72,40,15,165 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 72,40,15,165 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 72,40,15,165 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(72,40,15,165) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1800

GCF(72,40,15,165) x common factors =1 x 1800 = 1800

LCM(72,40,15,165) = ( 72 × 40 × 15 × 165 ) / 1800

LCM(72,40,15,165) = 7128000 / 1800

LCM(72,40,15,165) = 3960
