Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 46/187,979/756
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 46,979
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 46,979 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 187,756 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 187,756 is 141372 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 46,979
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 46
List of positive integer factors of 46 that divides 46 without a remainder.
1,2,23,46
Factors of 979
List of positive integer factors of 979 that divides 979 without a remainder.
1,11,89,979
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,979 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,979 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 187,756
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 141372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/141372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/187,979/756 is 1/141372
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 187,756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,756) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,756) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(187,756) = ( 187 × 756 ) / 1
LCM(187,756) = 141372 / 1
LCM(187,756) = 141372
