Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3155/15,4661/234
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 3155,4661
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3155,4661 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,234 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,234 is 1170 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3155,4661
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 3155
List of positive integer factors of 3155 that divides 3155 without a remainder.
1,5,631,3155
Factors of 4661
List of positive integer factors of 4661 that divides 4661 without a remainder.
1,59,79,4661
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3155,4661 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3155,4661 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,234
3 | 15, 234 |
5, 78 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 78 = 1170
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1170
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3155/15,4661/234 is 1/1170
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 15,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,234) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,234) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,234) = ( 15 × 234 ) / 3
LCM(15,234) = 3510 / 3
LCM(15,234) = 1170
