Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 47/56,74/99,235/73
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 47,74,235
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 47,74,235 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 56,99,73 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 56,99,73 is 404712 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 47,74,235
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 47
List of positive integer factors of 47 that divides 47 without a remainder.
1,47
Factors of 74
List of positive integer factors of 74 that divides 74 without a remainder.
1,2,37,74
Factors of 235
List of positive integer factors of 235 that divides 235 without a remainder.
1,5,47,235
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 47,74,235 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 47,74,235 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,99,73
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 404712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/404712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 47/56,74/99,235/73 is 1/404712
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 56,99,73 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,99,73) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,99,73) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(56,99,73) = ( 56 × 99 × 73 ) / 1
LCM(56,99,73) = 404712 / 1
LCM(56,99,73) = 404712
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
