Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 21/36,73/33,829/132
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 21,73,829
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 21,73,829 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,33,132 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,33,132 is 396 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 21,73,829
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 21
List of positive integer factors of 21 that divides 21 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21
Factors of 73
List of positive integer factors of 73 that divides 73 without a remainder.
1,73
Factors of 829
List of positive integer factors of 829 that divides 829 without a remainder.
1,829
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,73,829 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,73,829 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,33,132
2 | 36, 33, 132 |
2 | 18, 33, 66 |
3 | 9, 33, 33 |
11 | 3, 11, 11 |
3, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 3 x 1 x 1 = 396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/36,73/33,829/132 is 1/396
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 36,33,132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,33,132) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 132
GCF(36,33,132) x common factors =3 x 132 = 396
LCM(36,33,132) = ( 36 × 33 × 132 ) / 396
LCM(36,33,132) = 156816 / 396
LCM(36,33,132) = 396
