Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 201/362,274/657
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 201,274
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 201,274 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 362,657 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 362,657 is 237834 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 201,274
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 201
List of positive integer factors of 201 that divides 201 without a remainder.
1,3,67,201
Factors of 274
List of positive integer factors of 274 that divides 274 without a remainder.
1,2,137,274
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 201,274 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 201,274 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 362,657
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 237834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/237834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 201/362,274/657 is 1/237834
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 362,657 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,657) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,657) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(362,657) = ( 362 × 657 ) / 1
LCM(362,657) = 237834 / 1
LCM(362,657) = 237834
