Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 156/831,2971/772
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 156,2971
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 156,2971 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 831,772 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 831,772 is 641532 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 156,2971
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 156
List of positive integer factors of 156 that divides 156 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,13,26,39,52,78,156
Factors of 2971
List of positive integer factors of 2971 that divides 2971 without a remainder.
1,2971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 156,2971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 156,2971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 831,772
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 641532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/641532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/831,2971/772 is 1/641532
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 831,772 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(831,772) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(831,772) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(831,772) = ( 831 × 772 ) / 1
LCM(831,772) = 641532 / 1
LCM(831,772) = 641532
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
