Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 164/253,612/585
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 164,612
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 164,612 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 253,585 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 253,585 is 148005 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 164,612
2 | 164, 612 |
2 | 82, 306 |
41, 153 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 164
List of positive integer factors of 164 that divides 164 without a remainder.
1,2,4,41,82,164
Factors of 612
List of positive integer factors of 612 that divides 612 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,9,12,17,18,34,36,51,68,102,153,204,306,612
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 164,612 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 164,612 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 253,585
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148005
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/148005
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 164/253,612/585 is 4/148005
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 253,585 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,585) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,585) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,585) = ( 253 × 585 ) / 1
LCM(253,585) = 148005 / 1
LCM(253,585) = 148005
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
