Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 9/97,76/199,12/173
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 9,76,12
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 9,76,12 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 97,199,173 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 97,199,173 is 3339419 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 9,76,12
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 9
List of positive integer factors of 9 that divides 9 without a remainder.
1,3,9
Factors of 76
List of positive integer factors of 76 that divides 76 without a remainder.
1,2,4,19,38,76
Factors of 12
List of positive integer factors of 12 that divides 12 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9,76,12 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9,76,12 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,199,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3339419
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3339419
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9/97,76/199,12/173 is 1/3339419
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 97,199,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,199,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,199,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,199,173) = ( 97 × 199 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(97,199,173) = 3339419 / 1
LCM(97,199,173) = 3339419
