Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 178/147,673/783
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 178,673
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 178,673 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 147,783 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 147,783 is 38367 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 178,673
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 178
List of positive integer factors of 178 that divides 178 without a remainder.
1,2,89,178
Factors of 673
List of positive integer factors of 673 that divides 673 without a remainder.
1,673
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 178,673 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 178,673 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 147,783
3 | 147, 783 |
49, 261 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 49 x 261 = 38367
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38367
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 178/147,673/783 is 1/38367
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 147,783 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(147,783) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(147,783) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(147,783) = ( 147 × 783 ) / 3
LCM(147,783) = 115101 / 3
LCM(147,783) = 38367
