Greatest Common Factor of 17/38,44/12,99/40

Given fractions are 17/38,44/12,99/40

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 17,44,99

Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 17,44,99 is 1 .

LCM of Denominators means LCM of 38,12,40 as per the given fractions.

LCM of 38,12,40 is 2280 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.

Lets's calculate GCF of 17,44,99

We found the factors 17,44,99 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,44,99 is 1.

Lets's calculate LCM of 38,12,40

2 38, 12, 40
2 19, 6, 20
19, 3, 10

∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 3 x 10 = 2280

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2280

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/38,44/12,99/40 is 1/2280

Least Common Multiple of 38,12,40 with GCF Formula

Least Common Multiple of 38,12,40 with GCF Formula

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 38,12,40 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(38,12,40) = 2

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4

GCF(38,12,40) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8

LCM(38,12,40) = ( 38 × 12 × 40 ) / 8

LCM(38,12,40) = 18240 / 8

LCM(38,12,40) = 2280
