Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 235/40,215/65,222/84
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 235,215,222
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 235,215,222 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,65,84 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,65,84 is 10920 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 235,215,222
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 235
List of positive integer factors of 235 that divides 235 without a remainder.
1,5,47,235
Factors of 215
List of positive integer factors of 215 that divides 215 without a remainder.
1,5,43,215
Factors of 222
List of positive integer factors of 222 that divides 222 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 235,215,222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 235,215,222 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,65,84
2 | 40, 65, 84 |
2 | 20, 65, 42 |
5 | 10, 65, 21 |
2, 13, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 2 x 13 x 21 = 10920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 235/40,215/65,222/84 is 1/10920
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 40,65,84 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,65,84) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 20
GCF(40,65,84) x common factors =1 x 20 = 20
LCM(40,65,84) = ( 40 × 65 × 84 ) / 20
LCM(40,65,84) = 218400 / 20
LCM(40,65,84) = 10920
