Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 28/38,30/41,971/26
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 28,30,971
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 28,30,971 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 38,41,26 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 38,41,26 is 20254 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 28,30,971
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 28
List of positive integer factors of 28 that divides 28 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,14,28
Factors of 30
List of positive integer factors of 30 that divides 30 without a remainder.
1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
Factors of 971
List of positive integer factors of 971 that divides 971 without a remainder.
1,971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,30,971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,30,971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,41,26
2 | 38, 41, 26 |
19, 41, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 41 x 13 = 20254
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20254
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/38,30/41,971/26 is 1/20254
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 38,41,26 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,41,26) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(38,41,26) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(38,41,26) = ( 38 × 41 × 26 ) / 2
LCM(38,41,26) = 40508 / 2
LCM(38,41,26) = 20254
