Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 54/985,873/163
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 54,873
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 54,873 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 985,163 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 985,163 is 160555 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 54,873
3 | 54, 873 |
3 | 18, 291 |
6, 97 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Factors of 54
List of positive integer factors of 54 that divides 54 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54
Factors of 873
List of positive integer factors of 873 that divides 873 without a remainder.
1,3,9,97,291,873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 54,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 54,873 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 985,163
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160555
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/160555
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 54/985,873/163 is 9/160555
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 985,163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,163) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,163) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(985,163) = ( 985 × 163 ) / 1
LCM(985,163) = 160555 / 1
LCM(985,163) = 160555
