Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 372/99,131/553
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 372,131
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 372,131 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 99,553 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 99,553 is 54747 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 372,131
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 372
List of positive integer factors of 372 that divides 372 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,31,62,93,124,186,372
Factors of 131
List of positive integer factors of 131 that divides 131 without a remainder.
1,131
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 372,131 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 372,131 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,553
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 54747
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/54747
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 372/99,131/553 is 1/54747
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 99,553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,553) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,553) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,553) = ( 99 × 553 ) / 1
LCM(99,553) = 54747 / 1
LCM(99,553) = 54747
