Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 387/184,731/435
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 387,731
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 387,731 is 43 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 184,435 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 184,435 is 80040 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 387,731
43 | 387, 731 |
9, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 43 = 43
Factors of 387
List of positive integer factors of 387 that divides 387 without a remainder.
1,3,9,43,129,387
Factors of 731
List of positive integer factors of 731 that divides 731 without a remainder.
1,17,43,731
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 387,731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 387,731 is 43.
Lets's calculate LCM of 184,435
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 80040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 43/80040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 387/184,731/435 is 43/80040
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 184,435 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(184,435) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(184,435) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(184,435) = ( 184 × 435 ) / 1
LCM(184,435) = 80040 / 1
LCM(184,435) = 80040
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
