Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 249/51,845/142
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 249,845
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 249,845 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 51,142 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 51,142 is 7242 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 249,845
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 249
List of positive integer factors of 249 that divides 249 without a remainder.
1,3,83,249
Factors of 845
List of positive integer factors of 845 that divides 845 without a remainder.
1,5,13,65,169,845
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 249,845 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 249,845 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,142
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7242
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7242
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 249/51,845/142 is 1/7242
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 51,142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,142) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,142) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,142) = ( 51 × 142 ) / 1
LCM(51,142) = 7242 / 1
LCM(51,142) = 7242
