Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 96/30,47/15,492/460
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 96,47,492
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 96,47,492 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 30,15,460 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 30,15,460 is 1380 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 96,47,492
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 96
List of positive integer factors of 96 that divides 96 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,96
Factors of 47
List of positive integer factors of 47 that divides 47 without a remainder.
1,47
Factors of 492
List of positive integer factors of 492 that divides 492 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,41,82,123,164,246,492
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 96,47,492 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 96,47,492 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,15,460
2 | 30, 15, 460 |
3 | 15, 15, 230 |
5 | 5, 5, 230 |
1, 1, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 46 = 1380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/30,47/15,492/460 is 1/1380
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 30,15,460 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,15,460) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 30
GCF(30,15,460) x common factors =5 x 30 = 150
LCM(30,15,460) = ( 30 × 15 × 460 ) / 150
LCM(30,15,460) = 207000 / 150
LCM(30,15,460) = 1380
