Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 55/15,82/69,482/71
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 55,82,482
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 55,82,482 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,69,71 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,69,71 is 24495 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 55,82,482
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 55
List of positive integer factors of 55 that divides 55 without a remainder.
1,5,11,55
Factors of 82
List of positive integer factors of 82 that divides 82 without a remainder.
1,2,41,82
Factors of 482
List of positive integer factors of 482 that divides 482 without a remainder.
1,2,241,482
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,82,482 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,82,482 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,69,71
3 | 15, 69, 71 |
5, 23, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 23 x 71 = 24495
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24495
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/15,82/69,482/71 is 1/24495
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 15,69,71 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,69,71) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(15,69,71) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(15,69,71) = ( 15 × 69 × 71 ) / 3
LCM(15,69,71) = 73485 / 3
LCM(15,69,71) = 24495
