Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 185/294,3071/951
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 185,3071
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 185,3071 is 37 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 294,951 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 294,951 is 93198 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 185,3071
37 | 185, 3071 |
5, 83 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 37 = 37
Factors of 185

1,5,37,185
Factors of 3071
List of positive integer factors of 3071 that divides 3071 without a remainder.
1,37,83,3071
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 185,3071 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 185,3071 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 294,951
3 | 294, 951 |
98, 317 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 98 x 317 = 93198
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/93198
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 185/294,3071/951 is 37/93198
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 294,951 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(294,951) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(294,951) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(294,951) = ( 294 × 951 ) / 3
LCM(294,951) = 279594 / 3
LCM(294,951) = 93198
