Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 46/575,55/168
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 46,55
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 46,55 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 575,168 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 575,168 is 96600 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 46,55
∴ 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 55
List of positive integer factors of 55 that divides 55 without a remainder.
1,5,11,55
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 46,55 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 46,55 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 575,168
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 96600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/96600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/575,55/168 is 1/96600
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 575,168 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(575,168) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(575,168) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(575,168) = ( 575 × 168 ) / 1
LCM(575,168) = 96600 / 1
LCM(575,168) = 96600
