Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 158/963,7741/252
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 158,7741
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 158,7741 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 963,252 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 963,252 is 26964 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 158,7741
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 158
List of positive integer factors of 158 that divides 158 without a remainder.
1,2,79,158
Factors of 7741
List of positive integer factors of 7741 that divides 7741 without a remainder.
1,7741
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 158,7741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 158,7741 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 963,252
3 | 963, 252 |
3 | 321, 84 |
107, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 107 x 28 = 26964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 158/963,7741/252 is 1/26964
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 963,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(963,252) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(963,252) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(963,252) = ( 963 × 252 ) / 9
LCM(963,252) = 242676 / 9
LCM(963,252) = 26964
