Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 31/15,46/13,687/498
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 31,46,687
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 31,46,687 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,13,498 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,13,498 is 32370 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 31,46,687
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 31
List of positive integer factors of 31 that divides 31 without a remainder.
1,31

List of positive integer factors of 46 that divides 46 without a remainder.
1,2,23,46
Factors of 687
List of positive integer factors of 687 that divides 687 without a remainder.
1,3,229,687
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 31,46,687 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 31,46,687 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,13,498
3 | 15, 13, 498 |
5, 13, 166 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 13 x 166 = 32370
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/32370
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 31/15,46/13,687/498 is 1/32370
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 15,13,498 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,13,498) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(15,13,498) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(15,13,498) = ( 15 × 13 × 498 ) / 3
LCM(15,13,498) = 97110 / 3
LCM(15,13,498) = 32370
