Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5/66,118/21,485/96
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 5,118,485
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5,118,485 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 66,21,96 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 66,21,96 is 7392 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5,118,485
∴ 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 118
List of positive integer factors of 118 that divides 118 without a remainder.
1,2,59,118
Factors of 485
List of positive integer factors of 485 that divides 485 without a remainder.
1,5,97,485
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,118,485 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,118,485 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,21,96
2 | 66, 21, 96 |
3 | 33, 21, 48 |
11, 7, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 11 x 7 x 16 = 7392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/66,118/21,485/96 is 1/7392
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 66,21,96 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,21,96) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(66,21,96) x common factors =3 x 6 = 18
LCM(66,21,96) = ( 66 × 21 × 96 ) / 18
LCM(66,21,96) = 133056 / 18
LCM(66,21,96) = 7392
