Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 35/173,873/350
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 35,873
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 35,873 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 173,350 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 173,350 is 60550 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 35,873
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 35
List of positive integer factors of 35 that divides 35 without a remainder.
1,5,7,35
Factors of 873
List of positive integer factors of 873 that divides 873 without a remainder.
1,3,9,97,291,873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 35,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 35,873 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,350
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 60550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/60550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 35/173,873/350 is 1/60550
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 173,350 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,350) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,350) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,350) = ( 173 × 350 ) / 1
LCM(173,350) = 60550 / 1
LCM(173,350) = 60550
