Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 15/51,34/59,22/73,16/14
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 15,34,22,16
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 15,34,22,16 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 51,59,73,14 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 51,59,73,14 is 3075198 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 15,34,22,16
∴ 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 34
List of positive integer factors of 34 that divides 34 without a remainder.
1,2,17,34
Factors of 22
List of positive integer factors of 22 that divides 22 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22
Factors of 16
List of positive integer factors of 16 that divides 16 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 15,34,22,16 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,34,22,16 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,59,73,14
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3075198
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3075198
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/51,34/59,22/73,16/14 is 1/3075198
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 51,59,73,14 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,59,73,14) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,59,73,14) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,59,73,14) = ( 51 × 59 × 73 × 14 ) / 1
LCM(51,59,73,14) = 3075198 / 1
LCM(51,59,73,14) = 3075198
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
