Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 81/56,60/28,93/35
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 81,60,93
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 81,60,93 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 56,28,35 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 56,28,35 is 280 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 81,60,93
3 | 81, 60, 93 |
27, 20, 31 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 81
List of positive integer factors of 81 that divides 81 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,81
Factors of 60
List of positive integer factors of 60 that divides 60 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
Factors of 93
List of positive integer factors of 93 that divides 93 without a remainder.
1,3,31,93
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 81,60,93 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 81,60,93 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,28,35
2 | 56, 28, 35 |
2 | 28, 14, 35 |
7 | 7, 14, 35 |
1, 2, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 1 x 2 x 5 = 280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 81/56,60/28,93/35 is 3/280
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 56,28,35 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,28,35) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 28
GCF(56,28,35) x common factors =7 x 28 = 196
LCM(56,28,35) = ( 56 × 28 × 35 ) / 196
LCM(56,28,35) = 54880 / 196
LCM(56,28,35) = 280
