Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 288/55,181/401
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 288,181
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 288,181 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 55,401 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 55,401 is 22055 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 288,181
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 288
List of positive integer factors of 288 that divides 288 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,32,36,48,72,96,144,288
Factors of 181
List of positive integer factors of 181 that divides 181 without a remainder.
1,181
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 288,181 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 288,181 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22055
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/22055
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 288/55,181/401 is 1/22055
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 55,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,401) = ( 55 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(55,401) = 22055 / 1
LCM(55,401) = 22055
