Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 236/315,133/284
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 236,133
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 236,133 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 315,284 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 315,284 is 89460 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 236,133
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 236
List of positive integer factors of 236 that divides 236 without a remainder.
1,2,4,59,118,236
Factors of 133
List of positive integer factors of 133 that divides 133 without a remainder.
1,7,19,133
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 236,133 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 236,133 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 315,284
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 89460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/89460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 236/315,133/284 is 1/89460
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 315,284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(315,284) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(315,284) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(315,284) = ( 315 × 284 ) / 1
LCM(315,284) = 89460 / 1
LCM(315,284) = 89460
