Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 381/43,285/6122
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 381,285
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 381,285 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,6122 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,6122 is 263246 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 381,285
3 | 381, 285 |
127, 95 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 381
List of positive integer factors of 381 that divides 381 without a remainder.
1,3,127,381
Factors of 285
List of positive integer factors of 285 that divides 285 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,19,57,95,285
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 381,285 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 381,285 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,6122
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 263246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/263246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 381/43,285/6122 is 3/263246
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 43,6122 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,6122) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,6122) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,6122) = ( 43 × 6122 ) / 1
LCM(43,6122) = 263246 / 1
LCM(43,6122) = 263246
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
