Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 52/86,40/77,92/395
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 52,40,92
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 52,40,92 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 86,77,395 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 86,77,395 is 2615690 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 52,40,92
2 | 52, 40, 92 |
2 | 26, 20, 46 |
13, 10, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 52
List of positive integer factors of 52 that divides 52 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,26,52
Factors of 40
List of positive integer factors of 40 that divides 40 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Factors of 92
List of positive integer factors of 92 that divides 92 without a remainder.
1,2,4,23,46,92
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,40,92 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,40,92 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,77,395
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2615690
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2615690
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/86,40/77,92/395 is 4/2615690
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 86,77,395 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,77,395) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,77,395) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(86,77,395) = ( 86 × 77 × 395 ) / 1
LCM(86,77,395) = 2615690 / 1
LCM(86,77,395) = 2615690
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
