Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 17/142,636/809
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 17,636
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 17,636 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 142,809 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 142,809 is 114878 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,636
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 17
List of positive integer factors of 17 that divides 17 without a remainder.
1,17
Factors of 636
List of positive integer factors of 636 that divides 636 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,53,106,159,212,318,636
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,636 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,636 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 142,809
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 114878
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/114878
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/142,636/809 is 1/114878
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 142,809 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,809) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,809) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(142,809) = ( 142 × 809 ) / 1
LCM(142,809) = 114878 / 1
LCM(142,809) = 114878
