Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 237/23,4115/558
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 237,4115
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 237,4115 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,558 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,558 is 12834 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 237,4115
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 237
List of positive integer factors of 237 that divides 237 without a remainder.
1,3,79,237
Factors of 4115
List of positive integer factors of 4115 that divides 4115 without a remainder.
1,5,823,4115
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 237,4115 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 237,4115 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,558
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/23,4115/558 is 1/12834
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 23,558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,558) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,558) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,558) = ( 23 × 558 ) / 1
LCM(23,558) = 12834 / 1
LCM(23,558) = 12834
