Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 130/12,154/537
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 130,154
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 130,154 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,537 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,537 is 2148 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 130,154
2 | 130, 154 |
65, 77 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 130
List of positive integer factors of 130 that divides 130 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,13,26,65,130
Factors of 154
List of positive integer factors of 154 that divides 154 without a remainder.
1,2,7,11,14,22,77,154
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 130,154 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 130,154 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,537
3 | 12, 537 |
4, 179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 4 x 179 = 2148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 130/12,154/537 is 2/2148
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 12,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,537) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,537) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(12,537) = ( 12 × 537 ) / 3
LCM(12,537) = 6444 / 3
LCM(12,537) = 2148
