Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 11/32,80/31,29/15,46/31
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 11,80,29,46
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 11,80,29,46 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 32,31,15,31 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 32,31,15,31 is 14880 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 11,80,29,46
∴ 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 80
List of positive integer factors of 80 that divides 80 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,40,80
Factors of 29
List of positive integer factors of 29 that divides 29 without a remainder.
1,29
Factors of 46
List of positive integer factors of 46 that divides 46 without a remainder.
1,2,23,46
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 11,80,29,46 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 11,80,29,46 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,31,15,31
31 | 32, 31, 15, 31 |
32, 1, 15, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 31 x 32 x 1 x 15 x 1 = 14880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 11/32,80/31,29/15,46/31 is 1/14880
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 32,31,15,31 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,31,15,31) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 31
GCF(32,31,15,31) x common factors =1 x 31 = 31
LCM(32,31,15,31) = ( 32 × 31 × 15 × 31 ) / 31
LCM(32,31,15,31) = 461280 / 31
LCM(32,31,15,31) = 14880
