Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 345/61,147/592
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 345,147
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 345,147 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 61,592 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 61,592 is 36112 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 345,147
3 | 345, 147 |
115, 49 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 345
List of positive integer factors of 345 that divides 345 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,23,69,115,345
Factors of 147
List of positive integer factors of 147 that divides 147 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,49,147
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 345,147 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 345,147 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,592
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/36112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 345/61,147/592 is 3/36112
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 61,592 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,592) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(61,592) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(61,592) = ( 61 × 592 ) / 1
LCM(61,592) = 36112 / 1
LCM(61,592) = 36112
