Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 111/32,594/359
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 111,594
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 111,594 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 32,359 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 32,359 is 11488 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 111,594
3 | 111, 594 |
37, 198 |
∴ 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 594
List of positive integer factors of 594 that divides 594 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,27,33,54,66,99,198,297,594
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 111,594 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 111,594 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11488
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11488
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 111/32,594/359 is 3/11488
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 32,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(32,359) = ( 32 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(32,359) = 11488 / 1
LCM(32,359) = 11488
