Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 802/51,3751/144
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 802,3751
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 802,3751 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 51,144 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 51,144 is 2448 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 802,3751
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 3751
List of positive integer factors of 3751 that divides 3751 without a remainder.
1,11,31,121,341,3751
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 802,3751 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 802,3751 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,144
3 | 51, 144 |
17, 48 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 17 x 48 = 2448
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2448
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 802/51,3751/144 is 1/2448
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 51,144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,144) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,144) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(51,144) = ( 51 × 144 ) / 3
LCM(51,144) = 7344 / 3
LCM(51,144) = 2448
