Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 6159/397,9771/365
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 6159,9771
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 6159,9771 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 397,365 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 397,365 is 144905 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 6159,9771
3 | 6159, 9771 |
2053, 3257 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 6159
List of positive integer factors of 6159 that divides 6159 without a remainder.
1,3,2053,6159
Factors of 9771
List of positive integer factors of 9771 that divides 9771 without a remainder.
1,3,3257,9771
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6159,9771 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6159,9771 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,365
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 144905
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/144905
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6159/397,9771/365 is 3/144905
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 397,365 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,365) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,365) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,365) = ( 397 × 365 ) / 1
LCM(397,365) = 144905 / 1
LCM(397,365) = 144905
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
