Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 501/12,334/5937
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 501,334
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 501,334 is 167 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,5937 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,5937 is 23748 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 501,334
167 | 501, 334 |
3, 2 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 167 = 167
Factors of 501
List of positive integer factors of 501 that divides 501 without a remainder.
1,3,167,501
Factors of 334
List of positive integer factors of 334 that divides 334 without a remainder.
1,2,167,334
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 501,334 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 501,334 is 167.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,5937
3 | 12, 5937 |
4, 1979 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 4 x 1979 = 23748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 167/23748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 501/12,334/5937 is 167/23748
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 12,5937 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,5937) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,5937) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(12,5937) = ( 12 × 5937 ) / 3
LCM(12,5937) = 71244 / 3
LCM(12,5937) = 23748
