Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 59/641,177/794
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 59,177
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 59,177 is 59 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 641,794 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 641,794 is 508954 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 59,177
59 | 59, 177 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 59 = 59
Factors of 59
List of positive integer factors of 59 that divides 59 without a remainder.
1,59
Factors of 177
List of positive integer factors of 177 that divides 177 without a remainder.
1,3,59,177
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 59,177 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 59,177 is 59.
Lets's calculate LCM of 641,794
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 508954
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 59/508954
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/641,177/794 is 59/508954
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 641,794 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(641,794) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(641,794) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(641,794) = ( 641 × 794 ) / 1
LCM(641,794) = 508954 / 1
LCM(641,794) = 508954
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
