Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 26/873,787/182
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 26,787
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 26,787 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 873,182 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 873,182 is 158886 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 26,787
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 26
List of positive integer factors of 26 that divides 26 without a remainder.
1,2,13,26
Factors of 787
List of positive integer factors of 787 that divides 787 without a remainder.
1,787
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 26,787 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 26,787 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 873,182
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158886
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/158886
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 26/873,787/182 is 1/158886
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 873,182 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(873,182) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(873,182) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(873,182) = ( 873 × 182 ) / 1
LCM(873,182) = 158886 / 1
LCM(873,182) = 158886
