Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 16/72,29/23,406/809
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 16,29,406
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 16,29,406 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,23,809 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,23,809 is 1339704 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 16,29,406
∴ 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 29
List of positive integer factors of 29 that divides 29 without a remainder.
1,29
Factors of 406
List of positive integer factors of 406 that divides 406 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,29,58,203,406
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,29,406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,29,406 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,23,809
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1339704
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1339704
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/72,29/23,406/809 is 1/1339704
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 72,23,809 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,23,809) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,23,809) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,23,809) = ( 72 × 23 × 809 ) / 1
LCM(72,23,809) = 1339704 / 1
LCM(72,23,809) = 1339704
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
