Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 146/1800,899/7550
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 146,899
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 146,899 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 1800,7550 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 1800,7550 is 271800 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 146,899
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 146
List of positive integer factors of 146 that divides 146 without a remainder.
1,2,73,146
Factors of 899
List of positive integer factors of 899 that divides 899 without a remainder.
1,29,31,899
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 146,899 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 146,899 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 1800,7550
2 | 1800, 7550 |
5 | 900, 3775 |
5 | 180, 755 |
36, 151 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 x 36 x 151 = 271800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/271800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/1800,899/7550 is 1/271800
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 1800,7550 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(1800,7550) = 50
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(1800,7550) x common factors =50 x 1 = 50
LCM(1800,7550) = ( 1800 × 7550 ) / 50
LCM(1800,7550) = 13590000 / 50
LCM(1800,7550) = 271800
