Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 183/635,555/914
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 183,555
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 183,555 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 635,914 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 635,914 is 580390 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 183,555
3 | 183, 555 |
61, 185 |
∴ 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 555
List of positive integer factors of 555 that divides 555 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,37,111,185,555
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 183,555 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 183,555 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 635,914
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 580390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/580390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 183/635,555/914 is 3/580390
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 635,914 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(635,914) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(635,914) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(635,914) = ( 635 × 914 ) / 1
LCM(635,914) = 580390 / 1
LCM(635,914) = 580390
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
