Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 88/53,65/256,26/125
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 88,65,26
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 88,65,26 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 53,256,125 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 53,256,125 is 1696000 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 88,65,26
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 88
List of positive integer factors of 88 that divides 88 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,11,22,44,88
Factors of 65
List of positive integer factors of 65 that divides 65 without a remainder.
1,5,13,65
Factors of 26
List of positive integer factors of 26 that divides 26 without a remainder.
1,2,13,26
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 88,65,26 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 88,65,26 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,256,125
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1696000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1696000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/53,65/256,26/125 is 1/1696000
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 53,256,125 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,256,125) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,256,125) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,256,125) = ( 53 × 256 × 125 ) / 1
LCM(53,256,125) = 1696000 / 1
LCM(53,256,125) = 1696000
