Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 18/173,540/410
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 18,540
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 18,540 is 18 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 173,410 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 173,410 is 70930 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,540
2 | 18, 540 |
3 | 9, 270 |
3 | 3, 90 |
1, 30 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 540
List of positive integer factors of 540 that divides 540 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,12,15,18,20,27,30,36,45,54,60,90,108,135,180,270,540
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,540 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,540 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,410
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 70930
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/70930
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/173,540/410 is 18/70930
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 173,410 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,410) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,410) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,410) = ( 173 × 410 ) / 1
LCM(173,410) = 70930 / 1
LCM(173,410) = 70930
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
