Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 187/70,477/2739
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 187,477
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 187,477 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 70,2739 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 70,2739 is 191730 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 187,477
∴ 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 477
List of positive integer factors of 477 that divides 477 without a remainder.
1,3,9,53,159,477
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 187,477 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 187,477 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,2739
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 191730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/191730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/70,477/2739 is 1/191730
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 70,2739 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,2739) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,2739) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(70,2739) = ( 70 × 2739 ) / 1
LCM(70,2739) = 191730 / 1
LCM(70,2739) = 191730
