Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 79/149,187/701
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 79,187
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 79,187 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 149,701 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 149,701 is 104449 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 79,187
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 79
List of positive integer factors of 79 that divides 79 without a remainder.
1,79
Factors of 187
List of positive integer factors of 187 that divides 187 without a remainder.
1,11,17,187
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 79,187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 79,187 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 149,701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 104449
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/104449
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 79/149,187/701 is 1/104449
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 149,701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(149,701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(149,701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(149,701) = ( 149 × 701 ) / 1
LCM(149,701) = 104449 / 1
LCM(149,701) = 104449
