Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 96/31,34/12,22/33
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 96,34,22
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 96,34,22 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 31,12,33 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 31,12,33 is 4092 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 96,34,22
2 | 96, 34, 22 |
48, 17, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
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 34
List of positive integer factors of 34 that divides 34 without a remainder.
1,2,17,34
Factors of 22
List of positive integer factors of 22 that divides 22 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 96,34,22 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 96,34,22 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,12,33
3 | 31, 12, 33 |
31, 4, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 31 x 4 x 11 = 4092
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4092
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/31,34/12,22/33 is 2/4092
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 31,12,33 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,12,33) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(31,12,33) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(31,12,33) = ( 31 × 12 × 33 ) / 3
LCM(31,12,33) = 12276 / 3
LCM(31,12,33) = 4092
