Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 70/49,86/40,15/245
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 70,86,15
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 70,86,15 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 49,40,245 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 49,40,245 is 1960 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 70,86,15
∴ 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 86
List of positive integer factors of 86 that divides 86 without a remainder.
1,2,43,86
Factors of 15
List of positive integer factors of 15 that divides 15 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 70,86,15 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 70,86,15 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,40,245
5 | 49, 40, 245 |
7 | 49, 8, 49 |
7 | 7, 8, 7 |
1, 8, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 7 x 7 x 1 x 8 x 1 = 1960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 70/49,86/40,15/245 is 1/1960
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 49,40,245 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,40,245) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 245
GCF(49,40,245) x common factors =1 x 245 = 245
LCM(49,40,245) = ( 49 × 40 × 245 ) / 245
LCM(49,40,245) = 480200 / 245
LCM(49,40,245) = 1960
