Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1562/198,1761/184
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 1562,1761
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1562,1761 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 198,184 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 198,184 is 18216 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1562,1761
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 1761
List of positive integer factors of 1761 that divides 1761 without a remainder.
1,3,587,1761
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1562,1761 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1562,1761 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 198,184
2 | 198, 184 |
99, 92 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 99 x 92 = 18216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1562/198,1761/184 is 1/18216
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 198,184 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(198,184) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(198,184) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(198,184) = ( 198 × 184 ) / 2
LCM(198,184) = 36432 / 2
LCM(198,184) = 18216
