So the greatest common factor 85,172,462 is 1.

Lets's calculate LCM of 74,72,972

2 74, 72, 972
2 37, 36, 486
3 37, 18, 243
3 37, 6, 81
37, 2, 27

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 37 x 2 x 27 = 71928

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71928

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/74,172/72,462/972 is 1/71928

Least Common Multiple of 74,72,972 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 74,72,972 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 74,72,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(74,72,972) = 2

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 36

GCF(74,72,972) x common factors =2 x 36 = 72

LCM(74,72,972) = ( 74 × 72 × 972 ) / 72

LCM(74,72,972) = 5178816 / 72

LCM(74,72,972) = 71928
