Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 71/59,62/73,243/28
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 71,62,243
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 71,62,243 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 59,73,28 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 59,73,28 is 120596 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 71,62,243
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 71
List of positive integer factors of 71 that divides 71 without a remainder.
1,71
Factors of 62
List of positive integer factors of 62 that divides 62 without a remainder.
1,2,31,62
Factors of 243
List of positive integer factors of 243 that divides 243 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,81,243
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 71,62,243 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 71,62,243 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,73,28
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 120596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/120596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/59,62/73,243/28 is 1/120596
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 59,73,28 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,73,28) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,73,28) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,73,28) = ( 59 × 73 × 28 ) / 1
LCM(59,73,28) = 120596 / 1
LCM(59,73,28) = 120596
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
