Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 143/14,5837/777
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 143,5837
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 143,5837 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 14,777 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 14,777 is 1554 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 143,5837
13 | 143, 5837 |
11, 449 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Factors of 143
List of positive integer factors of 143 that divides 143 without a remainder.
1,11,13,143
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 143,5837 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 143,5837 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,777
7 | 14, 777 |
2, 111 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 2 x 111 = 1554
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/1554
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 143/14,5837/777 is 13/1554
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 14,777 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,777) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,777) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(14,777) = ( 14 × 777 ) / 7
LCM(14,777) = 10878 / 7
LCM(14,777) = 1554
