Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 159/68,950/3199
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 159,950
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 159,950 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 68,3199 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 68,3199 is 217532 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 159,950
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 159
List of positive integer factors of 159 that divides 159 without a remainder.
1,3,53,159
Factors of 950
List of positive integer factors of 950 that divides 950 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,19,25,38,50,95,190,475,950
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 159,950 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 159,950 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,3199
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/217532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 159/68,950/3199 is 1/217532
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 68,3199 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,3199) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,3199) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,3199) = ( 68 × 3199 ) / 1
LCM(68,3199) = 217532 / 1
LCM(68,3199) = 217532
