Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 7131/20,5601/922
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 7131,5601
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 7131,5601 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,922 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,922 is 9220 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 7131,5601
3 | 7131, 5601 |
2377, 1867 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 7131
List of positive integer factors of 7131 that divides 7131 without a remainder.
1,3,2377,7131
Factors of 5601
List of positive integer factors of 5601 that divides 5601 without a remainder.
1,3,1867,5601
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7131,5601 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7131,5601 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,922
2 | 20, 922 |
10, 461 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 10 x 461 = 9220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7131/20,5601/922 is 3/9220
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 20,922 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,922) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,922) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(20,922) = ( 20 × 922 ) / 2
LCM(20,922) = 18440 / 2
LCM(20,922) = 9220
