Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 143/442,350/659
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 143,350
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 143,350 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 442,659 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 442,659 is 291278 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 143,350
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 143
List of positive integer factors of 143 that divides 143 without a remainder.
1,11,13,143
Factors of 350
List of positive integer factors of 350 that divides 350 without a remainder.
1,2,5,7,10,14,25,35,50,70,175,350
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 143,350 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 143,350 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 442,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 291278
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/291278
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 143/442,350/659 is 1/291278
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 442,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(442,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(442,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(442,659) = ( 442 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(442,659) = 291278 / 1
LCM(442,659) = 291278
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
