Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 155/146,272/179
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 155,272
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 155,272 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 146,179 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 146,179 is 26134 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 155,272
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 155
List of positive integer factors of 155 that divides 155 without a remainder.
1,5,31,155
Factors of 272
List of positive integer factors of 272 that divides 272 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,17,34,68,136,272
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 155,272 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 155,272 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 146,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 155/146,272/179 is 1/26134
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 146,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(146,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(146,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(146,179) = ( 146 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(146,179) = 26134 / 1
LCM(146,179) = 26134
