Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 34/99,37/52,127/72
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 34,37,127
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 34,37,127 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 99,52,72 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 99,52,72 is 10296 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 34,37,127
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 34
List of positive integer factors of 34 that divides 34 without a remainder.
1,2,17,34
Factors of 37
List of positive integer factors of 37 that divides 37 without a remainder.
1,37
Factors of 127
List of positive integer factors of 127 that divides 127 without a remainder.
1,127
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,37,127 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,37,127 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,52,72
2 | 99, 52, 72 |
2 | 99, 26, 36 |
3 | 99, 13, 18 |
3 | 33, 13, 6 |
11, 13, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 x 13 x 2 = 10296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/99,37/52,127/72 is 1/10296
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 99,52,72 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,52,72) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 36
GCF(99,52,72) x common factors =1 x 36 = 36
LCM(99,52,72) = ( 99 × 52 × 72 ) / 36
LCM(99,52,72) = 370656 / 36
LCM(99,52,72) = 10296
