Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 452/142,185/539
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 452,185
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 452,185 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 142,539 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 142,539 is 76538 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 452,185
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 452
List of positive integer factors of 452 that divides 452 without a remainder.
1,2,4,113,226,452
Factors of 185
List of positive integer factors of 185 that divides 185 without a remainder.
1,5,37,185
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 452,185 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 452,185 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 142,539
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 76538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/76538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 452/142,185/539 is 1/76538
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 142,539 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,539) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,539) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(142,539) = ( 142 × 539 ) / 1
LCM(142,539) = 76538 / 1
LCM(142,539) = 76538
