Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 52/72,69/44,15/363
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 52,69,15
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 52,69,15 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,44,363 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,44,363 is 8712 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 52,69,15
∴ 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 69
List of positive integer factors of 69 that divides 69 without a remainder.
1,3,23,69
Factors of 15
List of positive integer factors of 15 that divides 15 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,69,15 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,69,15 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,44,363
2 | 72, 44, 363 |
2 | 36, 22, 363 |
3 | 18, 11, 363 |
11 | 6, 11, 121 |
6, 1, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 6 x 1 x 11 = 8712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/72,69/44,15/363 is 1/8712
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 72,44,363 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,44,363) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 132
GCF(72,44,363) x common factors =1 x 132 = 132
LCM(72,44,363) = ( 72 × 44 × 363 ) / 132
LCM(72,44,363) = 1149984 / 132
LCM(72,44,363) = 8712
