Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 29/179,337/560
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 29,337
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 29,337 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 179,560 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 179,560 is 100240 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 29,337
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 29
List of positive integer factors of 29 that divides 29 without a remainder.
1,29
Factors of 337
List of positive integer factors of 337 that divides 337 without a remainder.
1,337
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 29,337 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 29,337 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 179,560
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 100240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/100240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 29/179,337/560 is 1/100240
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 179,560 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(179,560) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(179,560) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(179,560) = ( 179 × 560 ) / 1
LCM(179,560) = 100240 / 1
LCM(179,560) = 100240
