Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 19/55,95/21,342/820
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 19,95,342
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 19,95,342 is 19 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 55,21,820 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 55,21,820 is 189420 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 19,95,342
19 | 19, 95, 342 |
1, 5, 18 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19
Factors of 19
List of positive integer factors of 19 that divides 19 without a remainder.
1,19
Factors of 95
List of positive integer factors of 95 that divides 95 without a remainder.
1,5,19,95
Factors of 342
List of positive integer factors of 342 that divides 342 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,19,38,57,114,171,342
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 19,95,342 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 19,95,342 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,21,820
5 | 55, 21, 820 |
11, 21, 164 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 11 x 21 x 164 = 189420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/189420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 19/55,95/21,342/820 is 19/189420
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 55,21,820 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,21,820) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5
GCF(55,21,820) x common factors =1 x 5 = 5
LCM(55,21,820) = ( 55 × 21 × 820 ) / 5
LCM(55,21,820) = 947100 / 5
LCM(55,21,820) = 189420
