Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 71/837,40/409,146/542
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 71,40,146
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 71,40,146 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 837,409,542 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 837,409,542 is 185544486 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 71,40,146
∴ 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 40
List of positive integer factors of 40 that divides 40 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Factors of 146
List of positive integer factors of 146 that divides 146 without a remainder.
1,2,73,146
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 71,40,146 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 71,40,146 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 837,409,542
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 185544486
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/185544486
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/837,40/409,146/542 is 1/185544486
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 837,409,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(837,409,542) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(837,409,542) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(837,409,542) = ( 837 × 409 × 542 ) / 1
LCM(837,409,542) = 185544486 / 1
LCM(837,409,542) = 185544486
