Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 66/53,40/54,21/71
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 66,40,21
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 66,40,21 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 53,54,71 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 53,54,71 is 203202 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 66,40,21
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 66
List of positive integer factors of 66 that divides 66 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,11,22,33,66
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 21
List of positive integer factors of 21 that divides 21 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 66,40,21 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 66,40,21 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,54,71
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 203202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/203202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 66/53,40/54,21/71 is 1/203202
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 53,54,71 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,54,71) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,54,71) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,54,71) = ( 53 × 54 × 71 ) / 1
LCM(53,54,71) = 203202 / 1
LCM(53,54,71) = 203202
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
