Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 152/475,2901/401
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 152,2901
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 152,2901 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 475,401 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 475,401 is 190475 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 152,2901
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 152
List of positive integer factors of 152 that divides 152 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,19,38,76,152
Factors of 2901
List of positive integer factors of 2901 that divides 2901 without a remainder.
1,3,967,2901
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 152,2901 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 152,2901 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 475,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 190475
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/190475
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 152/475,2901/401 is 1/190475
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 475,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(475,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(475,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(475,401) = ( 475 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(475,401) = 190475 / 1
LCM(475,401) = 190475
