Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 19/13,72/40,38/96
To find the GCF of fractions, we have to find the GCF of numerator numbers and LCM of denominator numbers. Its formula is given by
GCF of Fraction = Greatest Common Factor of Numerator/Least Common Multiple of Denominators
In the fractions 19/13,72/40,38/96, numerators are 19,72,38
Denominators are 13,40,96
The GCF of 19,72,38 is 1 .
LCM of 13,40,96 is 6240.
The greatest common factor of 19/13,72/40,38/96 = [GCF of 19,72,38]/[LCM of 13,40,96]= 1/6240
Therefore, the GCF of 19/13,72/40,38/96 is 1/6240.

The factors of 19 are 1, 19
The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
The factors of 38 are 1, 2, 19, 38
The HCF of 19,72,38 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 19,72,38
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 19
:1,19
Now, list down the factors of 72
:1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Now, list down the factors of 38
:1,2,19,38
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 19,72,38 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 19,72,38 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,40,96
2 | 13, 40, 96 |
2 | 13, 20, 48 |
2 | 13, 10, 24 |
13, 5, 12 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 13 x 5 x 12 = 6240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 19/13,72/40,38/96 is 1/6240
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 13,40,96 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,40,96) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(13,40,96) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(13,40,96) = ( 13 × 40 × 96 ) / 8
LCM(13,40,96) = 49920 / 8
LCM(13,40,96) = 6240
