Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 211/87,503/147
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 211,503
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 211,503 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 87,147 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 87,147 is 4263 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 211,503
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 211
List of positive integer factors of 211 that divides 211 without a remainder.
1,211
Factors of 503
List of positive integer factors of 503 that divides 503 without a remainder.
1,503
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 211,503 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 211,503 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,147
3 | 87, 147 |
29, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 49 = 4263
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4263
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 211/87,503/147 is 1/4263
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 87,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,147) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,147) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(87,147) = ( 87 × 147 ) / 3
LCM(87,147) = 12789 / 3
LCM(87,147) = 4263
