Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 11/64,55/87,627/36
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 11,55,627
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 11,55,627 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 64,87,36 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 64,87,36 is 16704 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 11,55,627
11 | 11, 55, 627 |
1, 5, 57 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Factors of 11
List of positive integer factors of 11 that divides 11 without a remainder.
1,11
Factors of 55
List of positive integer factors of 55 that divides 55 without a remainder.
1,5,11,55
Factors of 627
List of positive integer factors of 627 that divides 627 without a remainder.
1,3,11,19,33,57,209,627
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 11,55,627 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 11,55,627 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,87,36
2 | 64, 87, 36 |
2 | 32, 87, 18 |
3 | 16, 87, 9 |
16, 29, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 16 x 29 x 3 = 16704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/16704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 11/64,55/87,627/36 is 11/16704
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 64,87,36 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,87,36) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(64,87,36) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(64,87,36) = ( 64 × 87 × 36 ) / 12
LCM(64,87,36) = 200448 / 12
LCM(64,87,36) = 16704
