Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 69/70,22/80,174/72
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 69,22,174
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 69,22,174 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 70,80,72 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 70,80,72 is 5040 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 69,22,174
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 69
List of positive integer factors of 69 that divides 69 without a remainder.
1,3,23,69
Factors of 22
List of positive integer factors of 22 that divides 22 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22
Factors of 174
List of positive integer factors of 174 that divides 174 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,29,58,87,174
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 69,22,174 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 69,22,174 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,80,72
2 | 70, 80, 72 |
2 | 35, 40, 36 |
2 | 35, 20, 18 |
5 | 35, 10, 9 |
7, 2, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 2 x 9 = 5040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 69/70,22/80,174/72 is 1/5040
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 70,80,72 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,80,72) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 40
GCF(70,80,72) x common factors =2 x 40 = 80
LCM(70,80,72) = ( 70 × 80 × 72 ) / 80
LCM(70,80,72) = 403200 / 80
LCM(70,80,72) = 5040
