Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 26/44,89/72,42/577
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 26,89,42
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 26,89,42 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 44,72,577 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 44,72,577 is 456984 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 26,89,42
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 26
List of positive integer factors of 26 that divides 26 without a remainder.
1,2,13,26
Factors of 89
List of positive integer factors of 89 that divides 89 without a remainder.
1,89
Factors of 42
List of positive integer factors of 42 that divides 42 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 26,89,42 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 26,89,42 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,72,577
2 | 44, 72, 577 |
2 | 22, 36, 577 |
11, 18, 577 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 18 x 577 = 456984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/456984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/44,89/72,42/577 is 1/456984
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 44,72,577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,72,577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(44,72,577) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(44,72,577) = ( 44 × 72 × 577 ) / 4
LCM(44,72,577) = 1827936 / 4
LCM(44,72,577) = 456984
