Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 168/89,106/1956
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 168,106
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 168,106 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 89,1956 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 89,1956 is 174084 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 168,106
2 | 168, 106 |
84, 53 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 168
List of positive integer factors of 168 that divides 168 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,21,24,28,42,56,84,168
Factors of 106
List of positive integer factors of 106 that divides 106 without a remainder.
1,2,53,106
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 168,106 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 168,106 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,1956
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/174084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/89,106/1956 is 2/174084
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 89,1956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,1956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,1956) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,1956) = ( 89 × 1956 ) / 1
LCM(89,1956) = 174084 / 1
LCM(89,1956) = 174084
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
