Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 361/253,155/885
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 361,155
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 361,155 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 253,885 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 253,885 is 223905 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 361,155
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 361
List of positive integer factors of 361 that divides 361 without a remainder.
1,19,361
Factors of 155
List of positive integer factors of 155 that divides 155 without a remainder.
1,5,31,155
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 361,155 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 361,155 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 253,885
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223905
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/223905
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 361/253,155/885 is 1/223905
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 253,885 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,885) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,885) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,885) = ( 253 × 885 ) / 1
LCM(253,885) = 223905 / 1
LCM(253,885) = 223905
