Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 89/18,67/85,15/42
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 89,67,15
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 89,67,15 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 18,85,42 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 18,85,42 is 10710 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 89,67,15
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 89
List of positive integer factors of 89 that divides 89 without a remainder.
1,89
Factors of 67
List of positive integer factors of 67 that divides 67 without a remainder.
1,67
Factors of 15
List of positive integer factors of 15 that divides 15 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 89,67,15 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 89,67,15 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,85,42
2 | 18, 85, 42 |
3 | 9, 85, 21 |
3, 85, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 85 x 7 = 10710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/10710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 89/18,67/85,15/42 is 1/10710
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 18,85,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,85,42) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(18,85,42) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(18,85,42) = ( 18 × 85 × 42 ) / 6
LCM(18,85,42) = 64260 / 6
LCM(18,85,42) = 10710
