Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 641/957,179/888
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 641,179
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 641,179 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 957,888 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 957,888 is 283272 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 641,179
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 641
List of positive integer factors of 641 that divides 641 without a remainder.
1,641
Factors of 179
List of positive integer factors of 179 that divides 179 without a remainder.
1,179
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 641,179 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 641,179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 957,888
3 | 957, 888 |
319, 296 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 319 x 296 = 283272
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/283272
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 641/957,179/888 is 1/283272
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 957,888 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,888) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,888) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(957,888) = ( 957 × 888 ) / 3
LCM(957,888) = 849816 / 3
LCM(957,888) = 283272
