Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 386/888,1631/157
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 386,1631
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 386,1631 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 888,157 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 888,157 is 139416 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 386,1631
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 386
List of positive integer factors of 386 that divides 386 without a remainder.
1,2,193,386
Factors of 1631
List of positive integer factors of 1631 that divides 1631 without a remainder.
1,7,233,1631
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 386,1631 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 386,1631 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 888,157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 139416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/139416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 386/888,1631/157 is 1/139416
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 888,157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(888,157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(888,157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(888,157) = ( 888 × 157 ) / 1
LCM(888,157) = 139416 / 1
LCM(888,157) = 139416
