Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 10/157,436/237,961/238
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 10,436,961
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 10,436,961 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 157,237,238 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 157,237,238 is 8855742 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 10,436,961
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 10
List of positive integer factors of 10 that divides 10 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10
Factors of 436
List of positive integer factors of 436 that divides 436 without a remainder.
1,2,4,109,218,436
Factors of 961
List of positive integer factors of 961 that divides 961 without a remainder.
1,31,961
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 10,436,961 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 10,436,961 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 157,237,238
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8855742
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8855742
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 10/157,436/237,961/238 is 1/8855742
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 157,237,238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,237,238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,237,238) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,237,238) = ( 157 × 237 × 238 ) / 1
LCM(157,237,238) = 8855742 / 1
LCM(157,237,238) = 8855742
