Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 146/21,4951/207
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 146,4951
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 146,4951 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,207 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,207 is 1449 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 146,4951
∴ 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 4951
List of positive integer factors of 4951 that divides 4951 without a remainder.
1,4951
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 146,4951 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 146,4951 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,207
3 | 21, 207 |
7, 69 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 69 = 1449
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1449
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 146/21,4951/207 is 1/1449
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 21,207 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,207) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,207) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(21,207) = ( 21 × 207 ) / 3
LCM(21,207) = 4347 / 3
LCM(21,207) = 1449
