Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 23/318,374/557
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 23,374
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 23,374 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 318,557 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 318,557 is 177126 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 23,374
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 23
List of positive integer factors of 23 that divides 23 without a remainder.
1,23
Factors of 374
List of positive integer factors of 374 that divides 374 without a remainder.
1,2,11,17,22,34,187,374
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 23,374 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 23,374 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 318,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 177126
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/177126
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/318,374/557 is 1/177126
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 318,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(318,557) = ( 318 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(318,557) = 177126 / 1
LCM(318,557) = 177126
