Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 144/13,991/1985
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 144,991
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 144,991 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 13,1985 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 13,1985 is 25805 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 144,991
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 144
List of positive integer factors of 144 that divides 144 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,36,48,72,144
Factors of 991
List of positive integer factors of 991 that divides 991 without a remainder.
1,991
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 144,991 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 144,991 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,1985
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25805
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/25805
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 144/13,991/1985 is 1/25805
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 13,1985 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,1985) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,1985) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,1985) = ( 13 × 1985 ) / 1
LCM(13,1985) = 25805 / 1
LCM(13,1985) = 25805
