Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1361/51,4003/187
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 1361,4003
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1361,4003 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 51,187 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 51,187 is 561 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1361,4003
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 1361
List of positive integer factors of 1361 that divides 1361 without a remainder.
1,1361
Factors of 4003
List of positive integer factors of 4003 that divides 4003 without a remainder.
1,4003
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1361,4003 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1361,4003 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,187
17 | 51, 187 |
3, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 3 x 11 = 561
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/561
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1361/51,4003/187 is 1/561
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 51,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,187) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,187) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(51,187) = ( 51 × 187 ) / 17
LCM(51,187) = 9537 / 17
LCM(51,187) = 561
