Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 219/14,2019/173
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 219,2019
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 219,2019 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 14,173 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 14,173 is 2422 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 219,2019
3 | 219, 2019 |
73, 673 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 219
List of positive integer factors of 219 that divides 219 without a remainder.
1,3,73,219
Factors of 2019
List of positive integer factors of 2019 that divides 2019 without a remainder.
1,3,673,2019
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 219,2019 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 219,2019 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2422
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2422
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 219/14,2019/173 is 3/2422
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 14,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(14,173) = ( 14 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(14,173) = 2422 / 1
LCM(14,173) = 2422
