What is the GCF of 41/38,12/19,50/42?
Given fractions are 41/38,12/19,50/42
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 41/38,12/19,50/42, numerators are 41,12,50
Denominators are 38,19,42
The GCF of 41,12,50 is 1 .
LCM of 38,19,42 is 798.
The greatest common factor of 41/38,12/19,50/42 = [GCF of 41,12,50]/[LCM of 38,19,42]= 1/798
Therefore, the GCF of 41/38,12/19,50/42 is 1/798.

Lets's calculate LCM of 38,19,42
| 2 | 38, 19, 42 |
| 19 | 19, 19, 21 |
| 1, 1, 21 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 1 x 1 x 21 = 798
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/798
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 41/38,12/19,50/42 is 1/798
Least Common Multiple of 38,19,42 with GCF Formula
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 38,19,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,19,42) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 38
GCF(38,19,42) x common factors =1 x 38 = 38
LCM(38,19,42) = ( 38 × 19 × 42 ) / 38
LCM(38,19,42) = 30324 / 38
LCM(38,19,42) = 798
