Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 45/188,25/507
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 45,25
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 45,25 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 188,507 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 188,507 is 95316 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 45,25
5 | 45, 25 |
9, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5
Factors of 45
List of positive integer factors of 45 that divides 45 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,45
Factors of 25
List of positive integer factors of 25 that divides 25 without a remainder.
1,5,25
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 45,25 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 45,25 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 188,507
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 95316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/95316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/188,25/507 is 5/95316
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 188,507 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,507) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,507) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(188,507) = ( 188 × 507 ) / 1
LCM(188,507) = 95316 / 1
LCM(188,507) = 95316
