Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2/21,1/19,4/19,36/719
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 2/21,1/19,4/19,36/719, numerators are 2,1,4,36
Denominators are 21,19,19,719
The GCF of 2,1,4,36 is 1 .
LCM of 21,19,19,719 is 286881.
The greatest common factor of 2/21,1/19,4/19,36/719 = [GCF of 2,1,4,36]/[LCM of 21,19,19,719]= 1/286881
Therefore, the GCF of 2/21,1/19,4/19,36/719 is 1/286881.

The factors of 2 are 1, 2
The factors of 1 are 1
The factors of 4 are 1, 2, 4
The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
The HCF of 2,1,4,36 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2,1,4,36
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 2
:1,2
Now, list down the factors of 1
:1
Now, list down the factors of 4
:1,2,4
Now, list down the factors of 36
:1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2,1,4,36 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2,1,4,36 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,19,19,719
19 | 21, 19, 19, 719 |
21, 1, 1, 719 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 21 x 1 x 1 x 719 = 286881
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/286881
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2/21,1/19,4/19,36/719 is 1/286881
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 21,19,19,719 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,19,19,719) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 19
GCF(21,19,19,719) x common factors =1 x 19 = 19
LCM(21,19,19,719) = ( 21 × 19 × 19 × 719 ) / 19
LCM(21,19,19,719) = 5450739 / 19
LCM(21,19,19,719) = 286881
