Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 21/58,74/27,871/29
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 21,74,871
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 21,74,871 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 58,27,29 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 58,27,29 is 1566 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 21,74,871
∴ 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 74
List of positive integer factors of 74 that divides 74 without a remainder.
1,2,37,74
Factors of 871
List of positive integer factors of 871 that divides 871 without a remainder.
1,13,67,871
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,74,871 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,74,871 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,27,29
29 | 58, 27, 29 |
2, 27, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 2 x 27 x 1 = 1566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/58,74/27,871/29 is 1/1566
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 58,27,29 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,27,29) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 29
GCF(58,27,29) x common factors =1 x 29 = 29
LCM(58,27,29) = ( 58 × 27 × 29 ) / 29
LCM(58,27,29) = 45414 / 29
LCM(58,27,29) = 1566
