Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 600/72,187/947
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 600,187
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 600,187 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,947 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,947 is 68184 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 600,187
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 600
List of positive integer factors of 600 that divides 600 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,20,24,25,30,40,50,60,75,100,120,150,200,300,600
Factors of 187
List of positive integer factors of 187 that divides 187 without a remainder.
1,11,17,187
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 600,187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 600,187 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,947
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 68184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/68184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 600/72,187/947 is 1/68184
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 72,947 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,947) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,947) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,947) = ( 72 × 947 ) / 1
LCM(72,947) = 68184 / 1
LCM(72,947) = 68184
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
