Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 19/23,12/79,197/936
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 19,12,197
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 19,12,197 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,79,936 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,79,936 is 1700712 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 19,12,197
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 19
List of positive integer factors of 19 that divides 19 without a remainder.
1,19
Factors of 12
List of positive integer factors of 12 that divides 12 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12
Factors of 197
List of positive integer factors of 197 that divides 197 without a remainder.
1,197
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 19,12,197 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 19,12,197 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,79,936
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1700712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1700712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 19/23,12/79,197/936 is 1/1700712
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 23,79,936 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,79,936) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,79,936) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,79,936) = ( 23 × 79 × 936 ) / 1
LCM(23,79,936) = 1700712 / 1
LCM(23,79,936) = 1700712
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
