Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 46/28,96/14,902/28
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 46,96,902
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 46,96,902 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 28,14,28 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 28,14,28 is 28 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 46,96,902
2 | 46, 96, 902 |
23, 48, 451 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 46
List of positive integer factors of 46 that divides 46 without a remainder.
1,2,23,46
Factors of 96
List of positive integer factors of 96 that divides 96 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,96
Factors of 902
List of positive integer factors of 902 that divides 902 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,41,82,451,902
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,96,902 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,96,902 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,14,28
2 | 28, 14, 28 |
2 | 14, 7, 14 |
7 | 7, 7, 7 |
1, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 28
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/28,96/14,902/28 is 2/28
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 28,14,28 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,14,28) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 28
GCF(28,14,28) x common factors =14 x 28 = 392
LCM(28,14,28) = ( 28 × 14 × 28 ) / 392
LCM(28,14,28) = 10976 / 392
LCM(28,14,28) = 28
