Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 229/51,844/733
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 229,844
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 229,844 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 51,733 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 51,733 is 37383 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 229,844
∴ 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 844
List of positive integer factors of 844 that divides 844 without a remainder.
1,2,4,211,422,844
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 229,844 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 229,844 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,733
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37383
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37383
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 229/51,844/733 is 1/37383
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 51,733 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,733) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,733) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,733) = ( 51 × 733 ) / 1
LCM(51,733) = 37383 / 1
LCM(51,733) = 37383
