Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 33/212,143/336
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 33,143
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 33,143 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 212,336 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 212,336 is 17808 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 33,143
11 | 33, 143 |
3, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11
Factors of 33
List of positive integer factors of 33 that divides 33 without a remainder.
1,3,11,33
Factors of 143
List of positive integer factors of 143 that divides 143 without a remainder.
1,11,13,143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 33,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 33,143 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 212,336
2 | 212, 336 |
2 | 106, 168 |
53, 84 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 53 x 84 = 17808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/17808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 33/212,143/336 is 11/17808
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 212,336 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(212,336) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(212,336) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(212,336) = ( 212 × 336 ) / 4
LCM(212,336) = 71232 / 4
LCM(212,336) = 17808
