Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 59/42,18/80,11/502
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 59,18,11
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 59,18,11 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,80,502 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,80,502 is 421680 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 59,18,11
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 59
List of positive integer factors of 59 that divides 59 without a remainder.
1,59

List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 11
List of positive integer factors of 11 that divides 11 without a remainder.
1,11
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 59,18,11 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 59,18,11 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,80,502
2 | 42, 80, 502 |
21, 40, 251 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 40 x 251 = 421680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/421680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/42,18/80,11/502 is 1/421680
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 42,80,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,80,502) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(42,80,502) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(42,80,502) = ( 42 × 80 × 502 ) / 4
LCM(42,80,502) = 1686720 / 4
LCM(42,80,502) = 421680
