Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 80/60,81/83,76/159
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 80,81,76
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 80,81,76 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 60,83,159 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 60,83,159 is 263940 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 80,81,76
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 80
List of positive integer factors of 80 that divides 80 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,40,80
Factors of 81
List of positive integer factors of 81 that divides 81 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,81
Factors of 76
List of positive integer factors of 76 that divides 76 without a remainder.
1,2,4,19,38,76
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 80,81,76 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 80,81,76 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,83,159
3 | 60, 83, 159 |
20, 83, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 20 x 83 x 53 = 263940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/263940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 80/60,81/83,76/159 is 1/263940
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 60,83,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,83,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(60,83,159) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(60,83,159) = ( 60 × 83 × 159 ) / 3
LCM(60,83,159) = 791820 / 3
LCM(60,83,159) = 263940
