Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 72/60,13/180,141/255
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 72/60,13/180,141/255, numerators are 72,13,141
Denominators are 60,180,255
The GCF of 72,13,141 is 1 .
LCM of 60,180,255 is 3060.
The greatest common factor of 72/60,13/180,141/255 = [GCF of 72,13,141]/[LCM of 60,180,255]= 1/3060
Therefore, the GCF of 72/60,13/180,141/255 is 1/3060.

:1,3,47,141
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,13,141 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,13,141 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,180,255
2 | 60, 180, 255 |
2 | 30, 90, 255 |
3 | 15, 45, 255 |
5 | 5, 15, 85 |
1, 3, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 3 x 17 = 3060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/60,13/180,141/255 is 1/3060
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 60,180,255 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,180,255) = 15
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 60
GCF(60,180,255) x common factors =15 x 60 = 900
LCM(60,180,255) = ( 60 × 180 × 255 ) / 900
LCM(60,180,255) = 2754000 / 900
LCM(60,180,255) = 3060
