Lets's calculate LCM of 29,17,72

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35496

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35496

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 47/29,15/17,86/72 is 1/35496

Least Common Multiple of 29,17,72 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 29,17,72 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 29,17,72 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(29,17,72) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(29,17,72) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(29,17,72) = ( 29 × 17 × 72 ) / 1

LCM(29,17,72) = 35496 / 1

LCM(29,17,72) = 35496
