Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 14/40,34/51,218/845
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 14,34,218
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 14,34,218 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,51,845 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,51,845 is 344760 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 14,34,218
2 | 14, 34, 218 |
7, 17, 109 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 14
List of positive integer factors of 14 that divides 14 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14
Factors of 34
List of positive integer factors of 34 that divides 34 without a remainder.
1,2,17,34
Factors of 218
List of positive integer factors of 218 that divides 218 without a remainder.
1,2,109,218
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,34,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,34,218 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,51,845
5 | 40, 51, 845 |
8, 51, 169 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 8 x 51 x 169 = 344760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/344760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/40,34/51,218/845 is 2/344760
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 40,51,845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,51,845) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(40,51,845) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(40,51,845) = ( 40 × 51 × 845 ) / 5
LCM(40,51,845) = 1723800 / 5
LCM(40,51,845) = 344760
