Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4/14,36/802,82/128
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 4,36,82
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4,36,82 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 14,802,128 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 14,802,128 is 359296 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4,36,82
2 | 4, 36, 82 |
2, 18, 41 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 4
List of positive integer factors of 4 that divides 4 without a remainder.
1,2,4
Factors of 36
List of positive integer factors of 36 that divides 36 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Factors of 82
List of positive integer factors of 82 that divides 82 without a remainder.
1,2,41,82
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4,36,82 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4,36,82 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,802,128
2 | 14, 802, 128 |
7, 401, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 401 x 64 = 359296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/359296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/14,36/802,82/128 is 2/359296
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 14,802,128 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,802,128) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(14,802,128) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(14,802,128) = ( 14 × 802 × 128 ) / 4
LCM(14,802,128) = 1437184 / 4
LCM(14,802,128) = 359296
