Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 463/788,187/250
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 463,187
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 463,187 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 788,250 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 788,250 is 98500 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 463,187
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 463
List of positive integer factors of 463 that divides 463 without a remainder.
1,463
Factors of 187
List of positive integer factors of 187 that divides 187 without a remainder.
1,11,17,187
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 463,187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 463,187 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 788,250
2 | 788, 250 |
394, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 394 x 125 = 98500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/98500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 463/788,187/250 is 1/98500
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 788,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(788,250) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(788,250) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(788,250) = ( 788 × 250 ) / 2
LCM(788,250) = 197000 / 2
LCM(788,250) = 98500
