Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 16/96,24/96,659/12
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 16,24,659
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 16,24,659 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 96,96,12 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 96,96,12 is 96 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 16,24,659
∴ 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 24
List of positive integer factors of 24 that divides 24 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
Factors of 659
List of positive integer factors of 659 that divides 659 without a remainder.
1,659
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,24,659 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,24,659 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,96,12
2 | 96, 96, 12 |
2 | 48, 48, 6 |
2 | 24, 24, 3 |
2 | 12, 12, 3 |
2 | 6, 6, 3 |
3 | 3, 3, 3 |
1, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 96
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/96
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/96,24/96,659/12 is 1/96
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 96,96,12 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,96,12) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 96
GCF(96,96,12) x common factors =12 x 96 = 1152
LCM(96,96,12) = ( 96 × 96 × 12 ) / 1152
LCM(96,96,12) = 110592 / 1152
LCM(96,96,12) = 96
