Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 177/40,493/337
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 177,493
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 177,493 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,337 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,337 is 13480 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 177,493
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 177
List of positive integer factors of 177 that divides 177 without a remainder.
1,3,59,177
Factors of 493
List of positive integer factors of 493 that divides 493 without a remainder.
1,17,29,493
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 177,493 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 177,493 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,337
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 177/40,493/337 is 1/13480
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 40,337 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,337) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,337) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,337) = ( 40 × 337 ) / 1
LCM(40,337) = 13480 / 1
LCM(40,337) = 13480
