Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 45/333,311/598
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 45,311
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 45,311 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 333,598 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 333,598 is 199134 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 45,311
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 45
List of positive integer factors of 45 that divides 45 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,45
Factors of 311
List of positive integer factors of 311 that divides 311 without a remainder.
1,311
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 45,311 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 45,311 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 333,598
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/199134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/333,311/598 is 1/199134
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 333,598 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(333,598) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(333,598) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(333,598) = ( 333 × 598 ) / 1
LCM(333,598) = 199134 / 1
LCM(333,598) = 199134
