Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 271/98,142/3055
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 271,142
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 271,142 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 98,3055 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 98,3055 is 299390 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 271,142
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 271
List of positive integer factors of 271 that divides 271 without a remainder.
1,271
Factors of 142
List of positive integer factors of 142 that divides 142 without a remainder.
1,2,71,142
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 271,142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 271,142 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,3055
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 299390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/299390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 271/98,142/3055 is 1/299390
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 98,3055 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,3055) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,3055) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,3055) = ( 98 × 3055 ) / 1
LCM(98,3055) = 299390 / 1
LCM(98,3055) = 299390
