Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 236/325,603/159
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 236,603
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 236,603 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 325,159 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 325,159 is 51675 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 236,603
∴ 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 603
List of positive integer factors of 603 that divides 603 without a remainder.
1,3,9,67,201,603
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 236,603 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 236,603 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 325,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51675
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51675
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 236/325,603/159 is 1/51675
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 325,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(325,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(325,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(325,159) = ( 325 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(325,159) = 51675 / 1
LCM(325,159) = 51675
