Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 11/14,38/37,68/78
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 11,38,68
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 11,38,68 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 14,37,78 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 14,37,78 is 20202 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 11,38,68
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 11
List of positive integer factors of 11 that divides 11 without a remainder.
1,11
Factors of 38
List of positive integer factors of 38 that divides 38 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38
Factors of 68
List of positive integer factors of 68 that divides 68 without a remainder.
1,2,4,17,34,68
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 11,38,68 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 11,38,68 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,37,78
2 | 14, 37, 78 |
7, 37, 39 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 37 x 39 = 20202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 11/14,38/37,68/78 is 1/20202
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 14,37,78 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,37,78) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(14,37,78) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(14,37,78) = ( 14 × 37 × 78 ) / 2
LCM(14,37,78) = 40404 / 2
LCM(14,37,78) = 20202
