Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 26/12,32/79,74/552
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 26,32,74
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 26,32,74 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,79,552 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,79,552 is 43608 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 26,32,74
2 | 26, 32, 74 |
13, 16, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 26
List of positive integer factors of 26 that divides 26 without a remainder.
1,2,13,26
Factors of 32
List of positive integer factors of 32 that divides 32 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,32
Factors of 74
List of positive integer factors of 74 that divides 74 without a remainder.
1,2,37,74
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 26,32,74 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 26,32,74 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,79,552
2 | 12, 79, 552 |
2 | 6, 79, 276 |
3 | 3, 79, 138 |
1, 79, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 79 x 46 = 43608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/43608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/12,32/79,74/552 is 2/43608
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 12,79,552 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,79,552) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(12,79,552) x common factors =1 x 12 = 12
LCM(12,79,552) = ( 12 × 79 × 552 ) / 12
LCM(12,79,552) = 523296 / 12
LCM(12,79,552) = 43608
