Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 14/68,20/68,39/71,18/56
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 14,20,39,18
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 14,20,39,18 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 68,68,71,56 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 68,68,71,56 is 67592 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 14,20,39,18
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 14
List of positive integer factors of 14 that divides 14 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14
Factors of 20
List of positive integer factors of 20 that divides 20 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20
Factors of 39
List of positive integer factors of 39 that divides 39 without a remainder.
1,3,13,39
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,20,39,18 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,20,39,18 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,68,71,56
2 | 68, 68, 71, 56 |
2 | 34, 34, 71, 28 |
17 | 17, 17, 71, 14 |
1, 1, 71, 14 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 17 x 1 x 1 x 71 x 14 = 67592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/68,20/68,39/71,18/56 is 1/67592
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 68,68,71,56 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,68,71,56) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 272
GCF(68,68,71,56) x common factors =1 x 272 = 272
LCM(68,68,71,56) = ( 68 × 68 × 71 × 56 ) / 272
LCM(68,68,71,56) = 18385024 / 272
LCM(68,68,71,56) = 67592
