Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 61/73,97/40,466/24
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 61,97,466
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 61,97,466 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,40,24 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,40,24 is 8760 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 61,97,466
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 61
List of positive integer factors of 61 that divides 61 without a remainder.
1,61
Factors of 97
List of positive integer factors of 97 that divides 97 without a remainder.
1,97
Factors of 466
List of positive integer factors of 466 that divides 466 without a remainder.
1,2,233,466
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 61,97,466 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 61,97,466 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,40,24
2 | 73, 40, 24 |
2 | 73, 20, 12 |
2 | 73, 10, 6 |
73, 5, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 73 x 5 x 3 = 8760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 61/73,97/40,466/24 is 1/8760
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 73,40,24 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,40,24) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(73,40,24) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(73,40,24) = ( 73 × 40 × 24 ) / 8
LCM(73,40,24) = 70080 / 8
LCM(73,40,24) = 8760
