Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 59/875,237/760
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 59,237
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 59,237 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 875,760 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 875,760 is 133000 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 59,237
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 59
List of positive integer factors of 59 that divides 59 without a remainder.
1,59
Factors of 237
List of positive integer factors of 237 that divides 237 without a remainder.
1,3,79,237
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 59,237 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 59,237 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 875,760
5 | 875, 760 |
175, 152 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 175 x 152 = 133000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/133000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/875,237/760 is 1/133000
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 875,760 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(875,760) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(875,760) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(875,760) = ( 875 × 760 ) / 5
LCM(875,760) = 665000 / 5
LCM(875,760) = 133000
