Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 15/47,31/61,138/426
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 15,31,138
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 15,31,138 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,61,426 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,61,426 is 1221342 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 15,31,138
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 15
List of positive integer factors of 15 that divides 15 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15
Factors of 31
List of positive integer factors of 31 that divides 31 without a remainder.
1,31
Factors of 138
List of positive integer factors of 138 that divides 138 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,23,46,69,138
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 15,31,138 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,31,138 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,61,426
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1221342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1221342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/47,31/61,138/426 is 1/1221342
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 47,61,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,61,426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,61,426) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,61,426) = ( 47 × 61 × 426 ) / 1
LCM(47,61,426) = 1221342 / 1
LCM(47,61,426) = 1221342
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
