Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2559/361,2757/463
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 2559,2757
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2559,2757 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 361,463 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 361,463 is 167143 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2559,2757
3 | 2559, 2757 |
853, 919 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 2559
List of positive integer factors of 2559 that divides 2559 without a remainder.
1,3,853,2559
Factors of 2757
List of positive integer factors of 2757 that divides 2757 without a remainder.
1,3,919,2757
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2559,2757 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2559,2757 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 361,463
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 167143
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/167143
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2559/361,2757/463 is 3/167143
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 361,463 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,463) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,463) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,463) = ( 361 × 463 ) / 1
LCM(361,463) = 167143 / 1
LCM(361,463) = 167143
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
