Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 63/551,161/227
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 63,161
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 63,161 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 551,227 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 551,227 is 125077 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 63,161
7 | 63, 161 |
9, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Factors of 63
List of positive integer factors of 63 that divides 63 without a remainder.
1,3,7,9,21,63
Factors of 161
List of positive integer factors of 161 that divides 161 without a remainder.
1,7,23,161
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 63,161 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 63,161 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 551,227
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 125077
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/125077
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 63/551,161/227 is 7/125077
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 551,227 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(551,227) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(551,227) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(551,227) = ( 551 × 227 ) / 1
LCM(551,227) = 125077 / 1
LCM(551,227) = 125077
