Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 70/44,74/79,199/84
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 70,74,199
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 70,74,199 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 44,79,84 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 44,79,84 is 72996 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 70,74,199
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 70
List of positive integer factors of 70 that divides 70 without a remainder.
1,2,5,7,10,14,35,70
Factors of 74
List of positive integer factors of 74 that divides 74 without a remainder.
1,2,37,74
Factors of 199
List of positive integer factors of 199 that divides 199 without a remainder.
1,199
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 70,74,199 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 70,74,199 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,79,84
2 | 44, 79, 84 |
2 | 22, 79, 42 |
11, 79, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 x 79 x 21 = 72996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/72996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 70/44,74/79,199/84 is 1/72996
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 44,79,84 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,79,84) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(44,79,84) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(44,79,84) = ( 44 × 79 × 84 ) / 4
LCM(44,79,84) = 291984 / 4
LCM(44,79,84) = 72996
