Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 17/41,22/45,166/254
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 17,22,166
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 17,22,166 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,45,254 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,45,254 is 468630 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,22,166
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 17
List of positive integer factors of 17 that divides 17 without a remainder.
1,17
Factors of 22
List of positive integer factors of 22 that divides 22 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22
Factors of 166
List of positive integer factors of 166 that divides 166 without a remainder.
1,2,83,166
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,22,166 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,22,166 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,45,254
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 468630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/468630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/41,22/45,166/254 is 1/468630
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 41,45,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,45,254) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,45,254) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,45,254) = ( 41 × 45 × 254 ) / 1
LCM(41,45,254) = 468630 / 1
LCM(41,45,254) = 468630
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
