Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4/66,427/24,173/43
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 4,427,173
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4,427,173 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 66,24,43 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 66,24,43 is 11352 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4,427,173
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 4
List of positive integer factors of 4 that divides 4 without a remainder.
1,2,4
Factors of 427
List of positive integer factors of 427 that divides 427 without a remainder.
1,7,61,427
Factors of 173
List of positive integer factors of 173 that divides 173 without a remainder.
1,173
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4,427,173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4,427,173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,24,43
2 | 66, 24, 43 |
3 | 33, 12, 43 |
11, 4, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 11 x 4 x 43 = 11352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/66,427/24,173/43 is 1/11352
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 66,24,43 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,24,43) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(66,24,43) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(66,24,43) = ( 66 × 24 × 43 ) / 6
LCM(66,24,43) = 68112 / 6
LCM(66,24,43) = 11352
