Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 178/19,6283/331
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 178,6283
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 178,6283 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 19,331 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 19,331 is 6289 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 178,6283
∴ 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 6283
List of positive integer factors of 6283 that divides 6283 without a remainder.
1,61,103,6283
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 178,6283 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 178,6283 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,331
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6289
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6289
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 178/19,6283/331 is 1/6289
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 19,331 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,331) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,331) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,331) = ( 19 × 331 ) / 1
LCM(19,331) = 6289 / 1
LCM(19,331) = 6289
