Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 51/23,87/89,227/601
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 51,87,227
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 51,87,227 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,89,601 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,89,601 is 1230247 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 51,87,227
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 51
List of positive integer factors of 51 that divides 51 without a remainder.
1,3,17,51
Factors of 87
List of positive integer factors of 87 that divides 87 without a remainder.
1,3,29,87
Factors of 227
List of positive integer factors of 227 that divides 227 without a remainder.
1,227
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,87,227 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,87,227 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,89,601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1230247
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1230247
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/23,87/89,227/601 is 1/1230247
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 23,89,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,89,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,89,601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,89,601) = ( 23 × 89 × 601 ) / 1
LCM(23,89,601) = 1230247 / 1
LCM(23,89,601) = 1230247
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
