Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 183/17,996/345
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 183,996
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 183,996 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,345 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,345 is 5865 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 183,996
3 | 183, 996 |
61, 332 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 183
List of positive integer factors of 183 that divides 183 without a remainder.
1,3,61,183
Factors of 996
List of positive integer factors of 996 that divides 996 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,83,166,249,332,498,996
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 183,996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 183,996 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,345
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5865
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5865
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 183/17,996/345 is 3/5865
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 17,345 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,345) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,345) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,345) = ( 17 × 345 ) / 1
LCM(17,345) = 5865 / 1
LCM(17,345) = 5865
