Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 16/54,99/72,487/108
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 16,99,487
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 16,99,487 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 54,72,108 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 54,72,108 is 216 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 16,99,487
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 16
List of positive integer factors of 16 that divides 16 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16
Factors of 99
List of positive integer factors of 99 that divides 99 without a remainder.
1,3,9,11,33,99
Factors of 487
List of positive integer factors of 487 that divides 487 without a remainder.
1,487
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,99,487 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,99,487 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,72,108
2 | 54, 72, 108 |
2 | 27, 36, 54 |
3 | 27, 18, 27 |
3 | 9, 6, 9 |
3 | 3, 2, 3 |
1, 2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 2 x 1 = 216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/54,99/72,487/108 is 1/216
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 54,72,108 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,72,108) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 108
GCF(54,72,108) x common factors =18 x 108 = 1944
LCM(54,72,108) = ( 54 × 72 × 108 ) / 1944
LCM(54,72,108) = 419904 / 1944
LCM(54,72,108) = 216
