Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 12/29,19/55,904/242
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 12,19,904
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 12,19,904 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 29,55,242 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 29,55,242 is 35090 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 12,19,904
∴ 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 19
List of positive integer factors of 19 that divides 19 without a remainder.
1,19
Factors of 904
List of positive integer factors of 904 that divides 904 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,113,226,452,904
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,19,904 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,19,904 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,55,242
11 | 29, 55, 242 |
29, 5, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 29 x 5 x 22 = 35090
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35090
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/29,19/55,904/242 is 1/35090
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 29,55,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,55,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 11
GCF(29,55,242) x common factors =1 x 11 = 11
LCM(29,55,242) = ( 29 × 55 × 242 ) / 11
LCM(29,55,242) = 385990 / 11
LCM(29,55,242) = 35090
