Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 57/188,542/233
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 57,542
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 57,542 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 188,233 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 188,233 is 43804 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 57,542
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 57
List of positive integer factors of 57 that divides 57 without a remainder.
1,3,19,57
Factors of 542
List of positive integer factors of 542 that divides 542 without a remainder.
1,2,271,542
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 57,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 57,542 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 188,233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43804
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/43804
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/188,542/233 is 1/43804
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 188,233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(188,233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(188,233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(188,233) = ( 188 × 233 ) / 1
LCM(188,233) = 43804 / 1
LCM(188,233) = 43804
