Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 117/133,5837/900
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 117,5837
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 117,5837 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 133,900 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 133,900 is 119700 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 117,5837
13 | 117, 5837 |
9, 449 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Factors of 117
List of positive integer factors of 117 that divides 117 without a remainder.
1,3,9,13,39,117
Factors of 5837
List of positive integer factors of 5837 that divides 5837 without a remainder.
1,13,449,5837
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 117,5837 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 117,5837 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 133,900
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/119700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 117/133,5837/900 is 13/119700
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 133,900 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(133,900) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(133,900) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(133,900) = ( 133 × 900 ) / 1
LCM(133,900) = 119700 / 1
LCM(133,900) = 119700
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
