Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 71/97,20/19,40/49
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 71,20,40
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 71,20,40 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 97,19,49 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 97,19,49 is 90307 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 71,20,40
∴ 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 20
List of positive integer factors of 20 that divides 20 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20
Factors of 40
List of positive integer factors of 40 that divides 40 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 71,20,40 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 71,20,40 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,19,49
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 90307
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/90307
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/97,20/19,40/49 is 1/90307
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 97,19,49 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,19,49) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,19,49) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,19,49) = ( 97 × 19 × 49 ) / 1
LCM(97,19,49) = 90307 / 1
LCM(97,19,49) = 90307
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
