Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 8/73,218/39,214/11
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 8,218,214
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 8,218,214 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,39,11 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,39,11 is 31317 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 8,218,214
2 | 8, 218, 214 |
4, 109, 107 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 8
List of positive integer factors of 8 that divides 8 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8
Factors of 218
List of positive integer factors of 218 that divides 218 without a remainder.
1,2,109,218
Factors of 214
List of positive integer factors of 214 that divides 214 without a remainder.
1,2,107,214
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,218,214 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,218,214 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,39,11
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31317
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31317
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/73,218/39,214/11 is 2/31317
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 73,39,11 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,39,11) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,39,11) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,39,11) = ( 73 × 39 × 11 ) / 1
LCM(73,39,11) = 31317 / 1
LCM(73,39,11) = 31317
