Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 551/722,4072/179
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 551,4072
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 551,4072 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 722,179 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 722,179 is 129238 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 551,4072
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 551
List of positive integer factors of 551 that divides 551 without a remainder.
1,19,29,551
Factors of 4072
List of positive integer factors of 4072 that divides 4072 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,509,1018,2036,4072
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 551,4072 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 551,4072 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 722,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129238
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/129238
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 551/722,4072/179 is 1/129238
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 722,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(722,179) = ( 722 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(722,179) = 129238 / 1
LCM(722,179) = 129238
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
