Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 18/59,52/50,122/321
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 18,52,122
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 18,52,122 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 59,50,321 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 59,50,321 is 946950 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,52,122
2 | 18, 52, 122 |
9, 26, 61 |
∴ 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 52
List of positive integer factors of 52 that divides 52 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,26,52
Factors of 122
List of positive integer factors of 122 that divides 122 without a remainder.
1,2,61,122
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,52,122 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,52,122 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,50,321
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 946950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/946950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/59,52/50,122/321 is 2/946950
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 59,50,321 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,50,321) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,50,321) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,50,321) = ( 59 × 50 × 321 ) / 1
LCM(59,50,321) = 946950 / 1
LCM(59,50,321) = 946950
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
