Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 179/115,323/589
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 179,323
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 179,323 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 115,589 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 115,589 is 67735 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 179,323
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 179
List of positive integer factors of 179 that divides 179 without a remainder.
1,179
Factors of 323
List of positive integer factors of 323 that divides 323 without a remainder.
1,17,19,323
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 179,323 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 179,323 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 115,589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 67735
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/67735
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 179/115,323/589 is 1/67735
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 115,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(115,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(115,589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(115,589) = ( 115 × 589 ) / 1
LCM(115,589) = 67735 / 1
LCM(115,589) = 67735
