Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 52/12,91/60,300/36
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 52,91,300
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 52,91,300 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,60,36 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,60,36 is 180 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 52,91,300
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 52
List of positive integer factors of 52 that divides 52 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,26,52
Factors of 91
List of positive integer factors of 91 that divides 91 without a remainder.
1,7,13,91
Factors of 300
List of positive integer factors of 300 that divides 300 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,25,30,50,60,75,100,150,300
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,91,300 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,91,300 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,60,36
2 | 12, 60, 36 |
2 | 6, 30, 18 |
3 | 3, 15, 9 |
1, 5, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 5 x 3 = 180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/12,91/60,300/36 is 1/180
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 12,60,36 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,60,36) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 12
GCF(12,60,36) x common factors =12 x 12 = 144
LCM(12,60,36) = ( 12 × 60 × 36 ) / 144
LCM(12,60,36) = 25920 / 144
LCM(12,60,36) = 180
