Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 111/223,483/885
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 111,483
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 111,483 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 223,885 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 223,885 is 197355 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 111,483
3 | 111, 483 |
37, 161 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 111
List of positive integer factors of 111 that divides 111 without a remainder.
1,3,37,111
Factors of 483
List of positive integer factors of 483 that divides 483 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,23,69,161,483
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 111,483 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 111,483 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 223,885
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 197355
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/197355
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 111/223,483/885 is 3/197355
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 223,885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(223,885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(223,885) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(223,885) = ( 223 × 885 ) / 1
LCM(223,885) = 197355 / 1
LCM(223,885) = 197355
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
