Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 74/27,12/38,25/15,10/73
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 74,12,25,10
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 74,12,25,10 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,38,15,73 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,38,15,73 is 374490 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 74,12,25,10
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 74
List of positive integer factors of 74 that divides 74 without a remainder.
1,2,37,74
Factors of 12
List of positive integer factors of 12 that divides 12 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12
Factors of 25
List of positive integer factors of 25 that divides 25 without a remainder.
1,5,25
Factors of 10
List of positive integer factors of 10 that divides 10 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 74,12,25,10 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 74,12,25,10 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,38,15,73
3 | 27, 38, 15, 73 |
9, 38, 5, 73 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 9 x 38 x 5 x 73 = 374490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/374490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 74/27,12/38,25/15,10/73 is 1/374490
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 27,38,15,73 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,38,15,73) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(27,38,15,73) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(27,38,15,73) = ( 27 × 38 × 15 × 73 ) / 3
LCM(27,38,15,73) = 1123470 / 3
LCM(27,38,15,73) = 374490
