Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 178/363,9617/326
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 178,9617
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 178,9617 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 363,326 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 363,326 is 118338 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 178,9617
∴ 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 9617
List of positive integer factors of 9617 that divides 9617 without a remainder.
1,59,163,9617
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 178,9617 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 178,9617 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 363,326
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/118338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 178/363,9617/326 is 1/118338
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 363,326 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(363,326) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(363,326) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(363,326) = ( 363 × 326 ) / 1
LCM(363,326) = 118338 / 1
LCM(363,326) = 118338
