Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 162/17,501/2791
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 162,501
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 162,501 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,2791 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,2791 is 47447 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 162,501
3 | 162, 501 |
54, 167 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 162
List of positive integer factors of 162 that divides 162 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54,81,162
Factors of 501
List of positive integer factors of 501 that divides 501 without a remainder.
1,3,167,501
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 162,501 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 162,501 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,2791
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47447
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/47447
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 162/17,501/2791 is 3/47447
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 17,2791 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,2791) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,2791) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,2791) = ( 17 × 2791 ) / 1
LCM(17,2791) = 47447 / 1
LCM(17,2791) = 47447
