Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 445/95,178/3955
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 445,178
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 445,178 is 89 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 95,3955 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 95,3955 is 75145 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 445,178
89 | 445, 178 |
5, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 89 = 89
Factors of 445
List of positive integer factors of 445 that divides 445 without a remainder.
1,5,89,445
Factors of 178
List of positive integer factors of 178 that divides 178 without a remainder.
1,2,89,178
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 445,178 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 445,178 is 89.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,3955
5 | 95, 3955 |
19, 791 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 19 x 791 = 75145
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 89/75145
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 445/95,178/3955 is 89/75145
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 95,3955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,3955) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(95,3955) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(95,3955) = ( 95 × 3955 ) / 5
LCM(95,3955) = 375725 / 5
LCM(95,3955) = 75145
