Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 83/271,361/158
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 83,361
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 83,361 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 271,158 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 271,158 is 42818 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 83,361
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 83
List of positive integer factors of 83 that divides 83 without a remainder.
1,83
Factors of 361
List of positive integer factors of 361 that divides 361 without a remainder.
1,19,361
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 83,361 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 83,361 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,158
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 42818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/42818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 83/271,361/158 is 1/42818
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 271,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,158) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,158) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,158) = ( 271 × 158 ) / 1
LCM(271,158) = 42818 / 1
LCM(271,158) = 42818
