Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 65/160,71/348
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 65,71
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 65,71 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 160,348 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 160,348 is 13920 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 65,71
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 65
List of positive integer factors of 65 that divides 65 without a remainder.
1,5,13,65
Factors of 71
List of positive integer factors of 71 that divides 71 without a remainder.
1,71
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 65,71 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 65,71 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 160,348
2 | 160, 348 |
2 | 80, 174 |
40, 87 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 40 x 87 = 13920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 65/160,71/348 is 1/13920
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 160,348 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(160,348) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(160,348) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(160,348) = ( 160 × 348 ) / 4
LCM(160,348) = 55680 / 4
LCM(160,348) = 13920
