Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 229/400,237/271
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 229,237
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 229,237 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 400,271 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 400,271 is 108400 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 229,237
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 229
List of positive integer factors of 229 that divides 229 without a remainder.
1,229
Factors of 237
List of positive integer factors of 237 that divides 237 without a remainder.
1,3,79,237
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 229,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 229,237 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 400,271
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 108400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/108400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 229/400,237/271 is 1/108400
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 400,271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,271) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(400,271) = ( 400 × 271 ) / 1
LCM(400,271) = 108400 / 1
LCM(400,271) = 108400
