Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 51/383,81/574
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 51,81
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 51,81 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 383,574 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 383,574 is 219842 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 51,81
3 | 51, 81 |
17, 27 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 51
List of positive integer factors of 51 that divides 51 without a remainder.
1,3,17,51
Factors of 81
List of positive integer factors of 81 that divides 81 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,81
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,81 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,81 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 383,574
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 219842
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/219842
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/383,81/574 is 3/219842
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 383,574 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(383,574) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(383,574) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(383,574) = ( 383 × 574 ) / 1
LCM(383,574) = 219842 / 1
LCM(383,574) = 219842
