Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 10/16,51/42,569/235
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 10,51,569
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 10,51,569 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,42,235 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,42,235 is 78960 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 10,51,569
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 10
List of positive integer factors of 10 that divides 10 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10
Factors of 51
List of positive integer factors of 51 that divides 51 without a remainder.
1,3,17,51
Factors of 569
List of positive integer factors of 569 that divides 569 without a remainder.
1,569
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 10,51,569 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 10,51,569 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,42,235
2 | 16, 42, 235 |
8, 21, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 8 x 21 x 235 = 78960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/78960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 10/16,51/42,569/235 is 1/78960
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 16,42,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,42,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(16,42,235) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(16,42,235) = ( 16 × 42 × 235 ) / 2
LCM(16,42,235) = 157920 / 2
LCM(16,42,235) = 78960
