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 20,66,274
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 20,66,274 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 81,85,54 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 81,85,54 is 13770 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 20,66,274
2 | 20, 66, 274 |
10, 33, 137 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 20
List of positive integer factors of 20 that divides 20 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20
Factors of 66
List of positive integer factors of 66 that divides 66 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,11,22,33,66
Factors of 274
List of positive integer factors of 274 that divides 274 without a remainder.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 20,66,274 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,66,274 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,85,54
3 | 81, 85, 54 |
3 | 27, 85, 18 |
3 | 9, 85, 6 |
3, 85, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 85 x 2 = 13770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/13770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/81,66/85,274/54 is 2/13770
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 81,85,54 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,85,54) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 27
GCF(81,85,54) x common factors =1 x 27 = 27
LCM(81,85,54) = ( 81 × 85 × 54 ) / 27
LCM(81,85,54) = 371790 / 27
LCM(81,85,54) = 13770
