Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 63/534,837/951
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 63,837
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 63,837 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 534,951 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 534,951 is 169278 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 63,837
3 | 63, 837 |
3 | 21, 279 |
7, 93 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9
Factors of 63
List of positive integer factors of 63 that divides 63 without a remainder.
1,3,7,9,21,63
Factors of 837
List of positive integer factors of 837 that divides 837 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,31,93,279,837
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 63,837 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 63,837 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 534,951
3 | 534, 951 |
178, 317 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 178 x 317 = 169278
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/169278
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 63/534,837/951 is 9/169278
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 534,951 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,951) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,951) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(534,951) = ( 534 × 951 ) / 3
LCM(534,951) = 507834 / 3
LCM(534,951) = 169278
