Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 42/31,35/57,282/616
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 42,35,282
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 42,35,282 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 31,57,616 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 31,57,616 is 1088472 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 42,35,282
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 42
List of positive integer factors of 42 that divides 42 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
Factors of 35
List of positive integer factors of 35 that divides 35 without a remainder.
1,5,7,35
Factors of 282
List of positive integer factors of 282 that divides 282 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,47,94,141,282
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,35,282 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,35,282 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,57,616
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1088472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1088472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/31,35/57,282/616 is 1/1088472
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 31,57,616 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,57,616) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,57,616) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,57,616) = ( 31 × 57 × 616 ) / 1
LCM(31,57,616) = 1088472 / 1
LCM(31,57,616) = 1088472
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
