Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 12/25,52/15,63/53,191/74
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 12,52,63,191
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 12,52,63,191 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 25,15,53,74 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 25,15,53,74 is 294150 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 12,52,63,191
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 12
List of positive integer factors of 12 that divides 12 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12
Factors of 52
List of positive integer factors of 52 that divides 52 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,26,52
Factors of 63
List of positive integer factors of 63 that divides 63 without a remainder.
1,3,7,9,21,63
Factors of 191
List of positive integer factors of 191 that divides 191 without a remainder.
1,191
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,52,63,191 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,52,63,191 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,15,53,74
5 | 25, 15, 53, 74 |
5, 3, 53, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 5 x 3 x 53 x 74 = 294150
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/294150
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/25,52/15,63/53,191/74 is 1/294150
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 25,15,53,74 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,15,53,74) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(25,15,53,74) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(25,15,53,74) = ( 25 × 15 × 53 × 74 ) / 5
LCM(25,15,53,74) = 1470750 / 5
LCM(25,15,53,74) = 294150
