Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 143/719,1972/865
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 143,1972
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 143,1972 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 719,865 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 719,865 is 621935 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 143,1972
∴ 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 1972
List of positive integer factors of 1972 that divides 1972 without a remainder.
1,2,4,17,29,34,58,68,116,493,986,1972
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 143,1972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 143,1972 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 719,865
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 621935
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/621935
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 143/719,1972/865 is 1/621935
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 719,865 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(719,865) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(719,865) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(719,865) = ( 719 × 865 ) / 1
LCM(719,865) = 621935 / 1
LCM(719,865) = 621935
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
