Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 21/50,85/32,17/97,32/334
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 21,85,17,32
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 21,85,17,32 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 50,32,97,334 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 50,32,97,334 is 12959200 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 21,85,17,32
∴ 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 85
List of positive integer factors of 85 that divides 85 without a remainder.
1,5,17,85
Factors of 17
List of positive integer factors of 17 that divides 17 without a remainder.
1,17
Factors of 32
List of positive integer factors of 32 that divides 32 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,32
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,85,17,32 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,85,17,32 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,32,97,334
2 | 50, 32, 97, 334 |
25, 16, 97, 167 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 25 x 16 x 97 x 167 = 12959200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12959200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/50,85/32,17/97,32/334 is 1/12959200
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 50,32,97,334 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,32,97,334) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(50,32,97,334) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(50,32,97,334) = ( 50 × 32 × 97 × 334 ) / 4
LCM(50,32,97,334) = 51836800 / 4
LCM(50,32,97,334) = 12959200
