Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 53/368,415/237
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 53,415
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 53,415 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 368,237 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 368,237 is 87216 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 53,415
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 53
List of positive integer factors of 53 that divides 53 without a remainder.
1,53
Factors of 415
List of positive integer factors of 415 that divides 415 without a remainder.
1,5,83,415
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 53,415 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 53,415 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 368,237
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/87216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 53/368,415/237 is 1/87216
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 368,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(368,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(368,237) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(368,237) = ( 368 × 237 ) / 1
LCM(368,237) = 87216 / 1
LCM(368,237) = 87216
