Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 22/231,561/188
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 22,561
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 22,561 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 231,188 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 231,188 is 43428 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 22,561
11 | 22, 561 |
2, 51 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Factors of 22
List of positive integer factors of 22 that divides 22 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22
Factors of 561
List of positive integer factors of 561 that divides 561 without a remainder.
1,3,11,17,33,51,187,561
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 22,561 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 22,561 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,188
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/43428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 22/231,561/188 is 11/43428
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 231,188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,188) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,188) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,188) = ( 231 × 188 ) / 1
LCM(231,188) = 43428 / 1
LCM(231,188) = 43428
