Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 133/87,779/3551
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 133,779
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 133,779 is 19 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 87,3551 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 87,3551 is 308937 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 133,779
19 | 133, 779 |
7, 41 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 19 = 19
Factors of 133
List of positive integer factors of 133 that divides 133 without a remainder.
1,7,19,133
Factors of 779
List of positive integer factors of 779 that divides 779 without a remainder.
1,19,41,779
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 133,779 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 133,779 is 19.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,3551
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 308937
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/308937
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 133/87,779/3551 is 19/308937
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 87,3551 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,3551) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,3551) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(87,3551) = ( 87 × 3551 ) / 1
LCM(87,3551) = 308937 / 1
LCM(87,3551) = 308937
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
