Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 43/358,172/293
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 43,172
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 43,172 is 43 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 358,293 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 358,293 is 104894 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 43,172
43 | 43, 172 |
1, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 43 = 43
Factors of 43
List of positive integer factors of 43 that divides 43 without a remainder.
1,43
Factors of 172
List of positive integer factors of 172 that divides 172 without a remainder.
1,2,4,43,86,172
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 43,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 43,172 is 43.
Lets's calculate LCM of 358,293
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 104894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 43/104894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/358,172/293 is 43/104894
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 358,293 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(358,293) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(358,293) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(358,293) = ( 358 × 293 ) / 1
LCM(358,293) = 104894 / 1
LCM(358,293) = 104894
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
