Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 18/43,44/79,164/631
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 18,44,164
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 18,44,164 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,79,631 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,79,631 is 2143507 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,44,164
2 | 18, 44, 164 |
9, 22, 82 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 44
List of positive integer factors of 44 that divides 44 without a remainder.
1,2,4,11,22,44
Factors of 164
List of positive integer factors of 164 that divides 164 without a remainder.
1,2,4,41,82,164
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,44,164 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,44,164 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,79,631
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2143507
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2143507
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/43,44/79,164/631 is 2/2143507
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 43,79,631 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,79,631) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,79,631) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,79,631) = ( 43 × 79 × 631 ) / 1
LCM(43,79,631) = 2143507 / 1
LCM(43,79,631) = 2143507
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
