Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 131/55,863/71,761/37
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 131,863,761
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 131,863,761 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 55,71,37 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 55,71,37 is 144485 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 131,863,761
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 131
List of positive integer factors of 131 that divides 131 without a remainder.
1,131
Factors of 863
List of positive integer factors of 863 that divides 863 without a remainder.
1,863
Factors of 761
List of positive integer factors of 761 that divides 761 without a remainder.
1,761
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 131,863,761 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 131,863,761 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,71,37
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 144485
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/144485
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 131/55,863/71,761/37 is 1/144485
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 55,71,37 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,71,37) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,71,37) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,71,37) = ( 55 × 71 × 37 ) / 1
LCM(55,71,37) = 144485 / 1
LCM(55,71,37) = 144485
