Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 156/92,221/4077
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 156,221
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 156,221 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 92,4077 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 92,4077 is 375084 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 156,221
13 | 156, 221 |
12, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
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 221
List of positive integer factors of 221 that divides 221 without a remainder.
1,13,17,221
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 156,221 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 156,221 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 92,4077
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 375084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/375084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/92,221/4077 is 13/375084
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 92,4077 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(92,4077) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(92,4077) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(92,4077) = ( 92 × 4077 ) / 1
LCM(92,4077) = 375084 / 1
LCM(92,4077) = 375084
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
