Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 185/261,6991/6877
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 185,6991
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 185,6991 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 261,6877 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 261,6877 is 1794897 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 185,6991
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 185
List of positive integer factors of 185 that divides 185 without a remainder.
1,5,37,185
Factors of 6991
List of positive integer factors of 6991 that divides 6991 without a remainder.
1,6991
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 185,6991 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 185,6991 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 261,6877
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1794897
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1794897
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 185/261,6991/6877 is 1/1794897
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 261,6877 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(261,6877) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(261,6877) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(261,6877) = ( 261 × 6877 ) / 1
LCM(261,6877) = 1794897 / 1
LCM(261,6877) = 1794897
