Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 46/22,40/13,985/242
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 46,40,985
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 46,40,985 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 22,13,242 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 22,13,242 is 3146 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 46,40,985
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 46
List of positive integer factors of 46 that divides 46 without a remainder.
1,2,23,46
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 985
List of positive integer factors of 985 that divides 985 without a remainder.
1,5,197,985
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,40,985 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,40,985 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,13,242
2 | 22, 13, 242 |
11 | 11, 13, 121 |
1, 13, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 11 x 1 x 13 x 11 = 3146
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3146
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/22,40/13,985/242 is 1/3146
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 22,13,242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,13,242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 22
GCF(22,13,242) x common factors =1 x 22 = 22
LCM(22,13,242) = ( 22 × 13 × 242 ) / 22
LCM(22,13,242) = 69212 / 22
LCM(22,13,242) = 3146
