Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2/40,2/49,23/61,69/251
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 2,2,23,69
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2,2,23,69 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,49,61,251 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,49,61,251 is 30009560 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2,2,23,69
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 2
List of positive integer factors of 2 that divides 2 without a remainder.
1,2
Factors of 2
List of positive integer factors of 2 that divides 2 without a remainder.
1,2
Factors of 23
List of positive integer factors of 23 that divides 23 without a remainder.
1,23
Factors of 69
List of positive integer factors of 69 that divides 69 without a remainder.
1,3,23,69
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2,2,23,69 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2,2,23,69 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,49,61,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30009560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/30009560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2/40,2/49,23/61,69/251 is 1/30009560
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 40,49,61,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,49,61,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,49,61,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,49,61,251) = ( 40 × 49 × 61 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(40,49,61,251) = 30009560 / 1
LCM(40,49,61,251) = 30009560
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
