Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 153/45,437/3964
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 153,437
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 153,437 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 45,3964 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 45,3964 is 178380 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 153,437
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 153
List of positive integer factors of 153 that divides 153 without a remainder.
1,3,9,17,51,153
Factors of 437
List of positive integer factors of 437 that divides 437 without a remainder.
1,19,23,437
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 153,437 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 153,437 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,3964
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 178380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/178380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 153/45,437/3964 is 1/178380
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 45,3964 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,3964) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,3964) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(45,3964) = ( 45 × 3964 ) / 1
LCM(45,3964) = 178380 / 1
LCM(45,3964) = 178380
