Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 377/250,4171/735
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 377,4171
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 377,4171 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 250,735 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 250,735 is 36750 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 377,4171
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 377
List of positive integer factors of 377 that divides 377 without a remainder.
1,13,29,377
Factors of 4171
List of positive integer factors of 4171 that divides 4171 without a remainder.
1,43,97,4171
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 377,4171 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 377,4171 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 250,735
5 | 250, 735 |
50, 147 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 50 x 147 = 36750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 377/250,4171/735 is 1/36750
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 250,735 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,735) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(250,735) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(250,735) = ( 250 × 735 ) / 5
LCM(250,735) = 183750 / 5
LCM(250,735) = 36750
