Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 420/20,199/223
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 420,199
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 420,199 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,223 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,223 is 4460 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 420,199
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 420
List of positive integer factors of 420 that divides 420 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,12,14,15,20,21,28,30,35,42,60,70,84,105,140,210,420
Factors of 199
List of positive integer factors of 199 that divides 199 without a remainder.
1,199
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 420,199 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 420,199 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,223
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 420/20,199/223 is 1/4460
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 20,223 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,223) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,223) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,223) = ( 20 × 223 ) / 1
LCM(20,223) = 4460 / 1
LCM(20,223) = 4460
