Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 203/50,3199/257
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 203,3199
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 203,3199 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 50,257 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 50,257 is 12850 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 203,3199
7 | 203, 3199 |
29, 457 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Factors of 203
List of positive integer factors of 203 that divides 203 without a remainder.
1,7,29,203
Factors of 3199
List of positive integer factors of 3199 that divides 3199 without a remainder.
1,7,457,3199
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 203,3199 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 203,3199 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/12850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 203/50,3199/257 is 7/12850
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 50,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(50,257) = ( 50 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(50,257) = 12850 / 1
LCM(50,257) = 12850
