Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 371/375,942/297
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 371,942
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 371,942 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 375,297 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 375,297 is 37125 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 371,942
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 371
List of positive integer factors of 371 that divides 371 without a remainder.
1,7,53,371
Factors of 942
List of positive integer factors of 942 that divides 942 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,157,314,471,942
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 371,942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 371,942 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 375,297
3 | 375, 297 |
125, 99 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 125 x 99 = 37125
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/37125
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 371/375,942/297 is 1/37125
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 375,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(375,297) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(375,297) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(375,297) = ( 375 × 297 ) / 3
LCM(375,297) = 111375 / 3
LCM(375,297) = 37125
