Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 187/37,611/7234
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 187,611
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 187,611 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,7234 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,7234 is 267658 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 187,611
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 187
List of positive integer factors of 187 that divides 187 without a remainder.
1,11,17,187
Factors of 611
List of positive integer factors of 611 that divides 611 without a remainder.
1,13,47,611
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 187,611 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 187,611 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,7234
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 267658
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/267658
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/37,611/7234 is 1/267658
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 37,7234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,7234) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,7234) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,7234) = ( 37 × 7234 ) / 1
LCM(37,7234) = 267658 / 1
LCM(37,7234) = 267658
