Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 44/51,40/91,737/238
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 44,40,737
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 44,40,737 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 51,91,238 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 51,91,238 is 9282 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 44,40,737
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 44
List of positive integer factors of 44 that divides 44 without a remainder.
1,2,4,11,22,44
Factors of 40
List of positive integer factors of 40 that divides 40 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Factors of 737
List of positive integer factors of 737 that divides 737 without a remainder.
1,11,67,737
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 44,40,737 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 44,40,737 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,91,238
7 | 51, 91, 238 |
17 | 51, 13, 34 |
3, 13, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 17 x 3 x 13 x 2 = 9282
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9282
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/51,40/91,737/238 is 1/9282
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 51,91,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,91,238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 119
GCF(51,91,238) x common factors =1 x 119 = 119
LCM(51,91,238) = ( 51 × 91 × 238 ) / 119
LCM(51,91,238) = 1104558 / 119
LCM(51,91,238) = 9282
