Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 37/231,59/925,187/901
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 37,59,187
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 37,59,187 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 231,925,901 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 231,925,901 is 192521175 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 37,59,187
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 37
List of positive integer factors of 37 that divides 37 without a remainder.
1,37
Factors of 59
List of positive integer factors of 59 that divides 59 without a remainder.
1,59
Factors of 187
List of positive integer factors of 187 that divides 187 without a remainder.
1,11,17,187
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,59,187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,59,187 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 231,925,901
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 192521175
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/192521175
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/231,59/925,187/901 is 1/192521175
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 231,925,901 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,925,901) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,925,901) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,925,901) = ( 231 × 925 × 901 ) / 1
LCM(231,925,901) = 192521175 / 1
LCM(231,925,901) = 192521175
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
