Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 112/21,566/1495
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 112,566
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 112,566 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,1495 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,1495 is 31395 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 112,566
2 | 112, 566 |
56, 283 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 112
List of positive integer factors of 112 that divides 112 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,56,112
Factors of 566
List of positive integer factors of 566 that divides 566 without a remainder.
1,2,283,566
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 112,566 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 112,566 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,1495
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 31395
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/31395
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 112/21,566/1495 is 2/31395
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 21,1495 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,1495) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,1495) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,1495) = ( 21 × 1495 ) / 1
LCM(21,1495) = 31395 / 1
LCM(21,1495) = 31395
