Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 73/156,589/857
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 73,589
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 73,589 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 156,857 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 156,857 is 133692 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 73,589
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 73
List of positive integer factors of 73 that divides 73 without a remainder.
1,73
Factors of 589
List of positive integer factors of 589 that divides 589 without a remainder.
1,19,31,589
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 73,589 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 73,589 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 156,857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/133692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 73/156,589/857 is 1/133692
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 156,857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(156,857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(156,857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(156,857) = ( 156 × 857 ) / 1
LCM(156,857) = 133692 / 1
LCM(156,857) = 133692
