Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 117/10,183/948
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 117,183
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 117,183 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 10,948 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 10,948 is 4740 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 117,183
3 | 117, 183 |
39, 61 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 117
List of positive integer factors of 117 that divides 117 without a remainder.
1,3,9,13,39,117
Factors of 183
List of positive integer factors of 183 that divides 183 without a remainder.
1,3,61,183
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 117,183 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 117,183 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,948
2 | 10, 948 |
5, 474 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 474 = 4740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 117/10,183/948 is 3/4740
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 10,948 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,948) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,948) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(10,948) = ( 10 × 948 ) / 2
LCM(10,948) = 9480 / 2
LCM(10,948) = 4740
