Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 13/59,17/31,33/138
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 13,17,33
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 13,17,33 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 59,31,138 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 59,31,138 is 252402 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 13,17,33
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 13
List of positive integer factors of 13 that divides 13 without a remainder.
1,13
Factors of 17
List of positive integer factors of 17 that divides 17 without a remainder.
1,17
Factors of 33
List of positive integer factors of 33 that divides 33 without a remainder.
1,3,11,33
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 13,17,33 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 13,17,33 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,31,138
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 252402
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/252402
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 13/59,17/31,33/138 is 1/252402
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 59,31,138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,31,138) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,31,138) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,31,138) = ( 59 × 31 × 138 ) / 1
LCM(59,31,138) = 252402 / 1
LCM(59,31,138) = 252402
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
