Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 27/47,15/35,123/36
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 27,15,123
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 27,15,123 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,35,36 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,35,36 is 59220 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 27,15,123
3 | 27, 15, 123 |
9, 5, 41 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 27
List of positive integer factors of 27 that divides 27 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27
Factors of 15
List of positive integer factors of 15 that divides 15 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15
Factors of 123
List of positive integer factors of 123 that divides 123 without a remainder.
1,3,41,123
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 27,15,123 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 27,15,123 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,35,36
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 59220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/59220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/47,15/35,123/36 is 3/59220
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 47,35,36 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,35,36) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,35,36) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,35,36) = ( 47 × 35 × 36 ) / 1
LCM(47,35,36) = 59220 / 1
LCM(47,35,36) = 59220
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
