Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 30/98,57/93,159/64
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 30,57,159
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 30,57,159 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 98,93,64 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 98,93,64 is 291648 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 30,57,159
3 | 30, 57, 159 |
10, 19, 53 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
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 57
List of positive integer factors of 57 that divides 57 without a remainder.
1,3,19,57
Factors of 159
List of positive integer factors of 159 that divides 159 without a remainder.
1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 30,57,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 30,57,159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,93,64
2 | 98, 93, 64 |
49, 93, 32 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 49 x 93 x 32 = 291648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/291648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 30/98,57/93,159/64 is 3/291648
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 98,93,64 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,93,64) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(98,93,64) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(98,93,64) = ( 98 × 93 × 64 ) / 2
LCM(98,93,64) = 583296 / 2
LCM(98,93,64) = 291648
