Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 135/974,178/487
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 135,178
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 135,178 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 974,487 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 974,487 is 974 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 135,178
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 135
List of positive integer factors of 135 that divides 135 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,27,45,135
Factors of 178
List of positive integer factors of 178 that divides 178 without a remainder.
1,2,89,178
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 135,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 135,178 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 974,487
487 | 974, 487 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 487 x 2 x 1 = 974
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/974
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 135/974,178/487 is 1/974
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 974,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(974,487) = 487
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(974,487) x common factors =487 x 1 = 487
LCM(974,487) = ( 974 × 487 ) / 487
LCM(974,487) = 474338 / 487
LCM(974,487) = 974
