Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 536/17,203/375
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 536,203
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 536,203 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,375 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,375 is 6375 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 536,203
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 536
List of positive integer factors of 536 that divides 536 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,67,134,268,536
Factors of 203
List of positive integer factors of 203 that divides 203 without a remainder.
1,7,29,203
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 536,203 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 536,203 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,375
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6375
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6375
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 536/17,203/375 is 1/6375
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 17,375 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,375) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,375) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,375) = ( 17 × 375 ) / 1
LCM(17,375) = 6375 / 1
LCM(17,375) = 6375
