Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 171/8348,531/1375
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 171,531
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 171,531 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 8348,1375 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 8348,1375 is 11478500 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 171,531
3 | 171, 531 |
3 | 57, 177 |
19, 59 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Factors of 171
List of positive integer factors of 171 that divides 171 without a remainder.
1,3,9,19,57,171
Factors of 531
List of positive integer factors of 531 that divides 531 without a remainder.
1,3,9,59,177,531
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 171,531 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 171,531 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 8348,1375
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11478500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/11478500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 171/8348,531/1375 is 9/11478500
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 8348,1375 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8348,1375) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8348,1375) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(8348,1375) = ( 8348 × 1375 ) / 1
LCM(8348,1375) = 11478500 / 1
LCM(8348,1375) = 11478500
