Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 22/80,31/24,420/21
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 22,31,420
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 22,31,420 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 80,24,21 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 80,24,21 is 1680 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 22,31,420
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 22
List of positive integer factors of 22 that divides 22 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22
Factors of 31
List of positive integer factors of 31 that divides 31 without a remainder.
1,31
Factors of 420
List of positive integer factors of 420 that divides 420 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,12,14,15,20,21,28,30,35,42,60,70,84,105,140,210,420
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 22,31,420 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 22,31,420 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 80,24,21
2 | 80, 24, 21 |
2 | 40, 12, 21 |
2 | 20, 6, 21 |
3 | 10, 3, 21 |
10, 1, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 10 x 1 x 7 = 1680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 22/80,31/24,420/21 is 1/1680
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 80,24,21 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(80,24,21) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 24
GCF(80,24,21) x common factors =1 x 24 = 24
LCM(80,24,21) = ( 80 × 24 × 21 ) / 24
LCM(80,24,21) = 40320 / 24
LCM(80,24,21) = 1680
