Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 48/217,102/683
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 48,102
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 48,102 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 217,683 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 217,683 is 148211 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 48,102
2 | 48, 102 |
3 | 24, 51 |
8, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6
Factors of 48
List of positive integer factors of 48 that divides 48 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48
Factors of 102
List of positive integer factors of 102 that divides 102 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,17,34,51,102
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,102 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,102 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 217,683
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148211
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/148211
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/217,102/683 is 6/148211
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 217,683 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,683) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,683) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,683) = ( 217 × 683 ) / 1
LCM(217,683) = 148211 / 1
LCM(217,683) = 148211
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
