Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5/20,131/97,321/83
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 5,131,321
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5,131,321 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,97,83 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,97,83 is 161020 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5,131,321
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 5
List of positive integer factors of 5 that divides 5 without a remainder.
1,5
Factors of 131
List of positive integer factors of 131 that divides 131 without a remainder.
1,131
Factors of 321
List of positive integer factors of 321 that divides 321 without a remainder.
1,3,107,321
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,131,321 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,131,321 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,97,83
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 161020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/161020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/20,131/97,321/83 is 1/161020
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 20,97,83 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,97,83) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,97,83) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,97,83) = ( 20 × 97 × 83 ) / 1
LCM(20,97,83) = 161020 / 1
LCM(20,97,83) = 161020
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
