Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 359/71,157/4744
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 359,157
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 359,157 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,4744 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,4744 is 336824 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 359,157
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 359
List of positive integer factors of 359 that divides 359 without a remainder.
1,359
Factors of 157
List of positive integer factors of 157 that divides 157 without a remainder.
1,157
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 359,157 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 359,157 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,4744
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 336824
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/336824
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 359/71,157/4744 is 1/336824
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 71,4744 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,4744) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,4744) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,4744) = ( 71 × 4744 ) / 1
LCM(71,4744) = 336824 / 1
LCM(71,4744) = 336824
