Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 15/412,17/906
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 15,17
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 15,17 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 412,906 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 412,906 is 186636 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 15,17
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 15
List of positive integer factors of 15 that divides 15 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15
Factors of 17
List of positive integer factors of 17 that divides 17 without a remainder.
1,17
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 15,17 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,17 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 412,906
2 | 412, 906 |
206, 453 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 206 x 453 = 186636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/186636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/412,17/906 is 1/186636
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 412,906 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(412,906) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(412,906) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(412,906) = ( 412 × 906 ) / 2
LCM(412,906) = 373272 / 2
LCM(412,906) = 186636
