Natural uranium is a mixture of three isotopes 92234U^{234}_{92}\text{U} , 92235U^{235}_{92}\text{U} and 92238U^{238}_{92}\text{U} with mass percentage 0.01%, 0.71% and 99.28% respectively. The half-life of three isotopes are 2.5×105 yr2.5 \times 10^5 \text{ yr} , 7.1×108 yr7.1 \times 10^8 \text{ yr} and 4.5×109 yr4.5 \times 10^9 \text{ yr} respectively. Determine the share of radioactivity of each isotope into the total activity of the natural uranium.
