Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 235/815,3425/163
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 235,3425
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 235,3425 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 815,163 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 815,163 is 815 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 235,3425
5 | 235, 3425 |
47, 685 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 235
List of positive integer factors of 235 that divides 235 without a remainder.
1,5,47,235
Factors of 3425
List of positive integer factors of 3425 that divides 3425 without a remainder.
1,5,25,137,685,3425
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 235,3425 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 235,3425 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 815,163
163 | 815, 163 |
5, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 163 x 5 x 1 = 815
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/815
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 235/815,3425/163 is 5/815
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 815,163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(815,163) = 163
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(815,163) x common factors =163 x 1 = 163
LCM(815,163) = ( 815 × 163 ) / 163
LCM(815,163) = 132845 / 163
LCM(815,163) = 815
