Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 635/31,157/985
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 635,157
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 635,157 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 31,985 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 31,985 is 30535 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 635,157
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 635
List of positive integer factors of 635 that divides 635 without a remainder.
1,5,127,635
Factors of 157
List of positive integer factors of 157 that divides 157 without a remainder.
1,157
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 635,157 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 635,157 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,985
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30535
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/30535
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 635/31,157/985 is 1/30535
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 31,985 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,985) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,985) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,985) = ( 31 × 985 ) / 1
LCM(31,985) = 30535 / 1
LCM(31,985) = 30535
