Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 17/50,551/72,821/984
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 17,551,821
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 17,551,821 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 50,72,984 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 50,72,984 is 73800 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,551,821
∴ 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 551
List of positive integer factors of 551 that divides 551 without a remainder.
1,19,29,551
Factors of 821
List of positive integer factors of 821 that divides 821 without a remainder.
1,821
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,551,821 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,551,821 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,72,984
2 | 50, 72, 984 |
2 | 25, 36, 492 |
2 | 25, 18, 246 |
3 | 25, 9, 123 |
25, 3, 41 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 25 x 3 x 41 = 73800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/73800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/50,551/72,821/984 is 1/73800
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 50,72,984 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,72,984) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(50,72,984) x common factors =2 x 24 = 48
LCM(50,72,984) = ( 50 × 72 × 984 ) / 48
LCM(50,72,984) = 3542400 / 48
LCM(50,72,984) = 73800
