Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 159/77,1855/467
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 159,1855
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 159,1855 is 53 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 77,467 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 77,467 is 35959 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 159,1855
53 | 159, 1855 |
3, 35 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 53 = 53
Factors of 159
List of positive integer factors of 159 that divides 159 without a remainder.
1,3,53,159
Factors of 1855
List of positive integer factors of 1855 that divides 1855 without a remainder.
1,5,7,35,53,265,371,1855
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 159,1855 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 159,1855 is 53.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,467
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35959
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 53/35959
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 159/77,1855/467 is 53/35959
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 77,467 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,467) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,467) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,467) = ( 77 × 467 ) / 1
LCM(77,467) = 35959 / 1
LCM(77,467) = 35959
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
