Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 38/11,33/26,31/426
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 38,33,31
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 38,33,31 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,26,426 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,26,426 is 60918 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 38,33,31
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 38
List of positive integer factors of 38 that divides 38 without a remainder.
1,2,19,38
Factors of 33
List of positive integer factors of 33 that divides 33 without a remainder.
1,3,11,33
Factors of 31
List of positive integer factors of 31 that divides 31 without a remainder.
1,31
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 38,33,31 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,33,31 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,26,426
2 | 11, 26, 426 |
11, 13, 213 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 13 x 213 = 60918
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/60918
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/11,33/26,31/426 is 1/60918
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 11,26,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,26,426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(11,26,426) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(11,26,426) = ( 11 × 26 × 426 ) / 2
LCM(11,26,426) = 121836 / 2
LCM(11,26,426) = 60918
