Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 199/492,4045/237
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 199,4045
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 199,4045 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 492,237 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 492,237 is 38868 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 199,4045
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 199
List of positive integer factors of 199 that divides 199 without a remainder.
1,199
Factors of 4045
List of positive integer factors of 4045 that divides 4045 without a remainder.
1,5,809,4045
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 199,4045 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 199,4045 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 492,237
3 | 492, 237 |
164, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 164 x 79 = 38868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/38868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 199/492,4045/237 is 1/38868
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 492,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,237) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,237) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(492,237) = ( 492 × 237 ) / 3
LCM(492,237) = 116604 / 3
LCM(492,237) = 38868
