Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 55/877,275/181
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 55,275
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 55,275 is 55 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 877,181 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 877,181 is 158737 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 55,275
5 | 55, 275 |
11 | 11, 55 |
1, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 x 11 = 55
Factors of 55
List of positive integer factors of 55 that divides 55 without a remainder.
1,5,11,55
Factors of 275
List of positive integer factors of 275 that divides 275 without a remainder.
1,5,11,25,55,275
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,275 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,275 is 55.
Lets's calculate LCM of 877,181
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158737
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 55/158737
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/877,275/181 is 55/158737
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 877,181 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(877,181) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(877,181) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(877,181) = ( 877 × 181 ) / 1
LCM(877,181) = 158737 / 1
LCM(877,181) = 158737
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
