Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 175/54,635/660
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 175,635
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 175,635 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 54,660 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 54,660 is 5940 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 175,635
5 | 175, 635 |
35, 127 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 175
List of positive integer factors of 175 that divides 175 without a remainder.
1,5,7,25,35,175
Factors of 635
List of positive integer factors of 635 that divides 635 without a remainder.
1,5,127,635
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 175,635 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 175,635 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,660
2 | 54, 660 |
3 | 27, 330 |
9, 110 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 9 x 110 = 5940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/5940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 175/54,635/660 is 5/5940
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 54,660 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,660) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,660) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(54,660) = ( 54 × 660 ) / 6
LCM(54,660) = 35640 / 6
LCM(54,660) = 5940
