Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 309/11,142/472
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 309,142
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 309,142 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,472 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,472 is 5192 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 309,142
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 309
List of positive integer factors of 309 that divides 309 without a remainder.
1,3,103,309
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 309,142 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 309,142 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,472
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 309/11,142/472 is 1/5192
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 11,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,472) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,472) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,472) = ( 11 × 472 ) / 1
LCM(11,472) = 5192 / 1
LCM(11,472) = 5192
