Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 183/56,327/1728
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 183,327
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 183,327 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 56,1728 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 56,1728 is 12096 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 183,327
3 | 183, 327 |
61, 109 |
∴ 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 327
List of positive integer factors of 327 that divides 327 without a remainder.
1,3,109,327
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 183,327 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 183,327 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,1728
2 | 56, 1728 |
2 | 28, 864 |
2 | 14, 432 |
7, 216 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 216 = 12096
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/12096
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 183/56,327/1728 is 3/12096
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 56,1728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,1728) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,1728) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(56,1728) = ( 56 × 1728 ) / 8
LCM(56,1728) = 96768 / 8
LCM(56,1728) = 12096
