Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 115/352,253/592
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 115,253
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 115,253 is 23 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 352,592 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 352,592 is 13024 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 115,253
23 | 115, 253 |
5, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23
Factors of 115
List of positive integer factors of 115 that divides 115 without a remainder.
1,5,23,115
Factors of 253
List of positive integer factors of 253 that divides 253 without a remainder.
1,11,23,253
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 115,253 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 115,253 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 352,592
2 | 352, 592 |
2 | 176, 296 |
2 | 88, 148 |
2 | 44, 74 |
22, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 22 x 37 = 13024
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/13024
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 115/352,253/592 is 23/13024
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 352,592 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(352,592) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(352,592) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(352,592) = ( 352 × 592 ) / 16
LCM(352,592) = 208384 / 16
LCM(352,592) = 13024
