Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 85/208,738/125
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 85,738
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 85,738 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 208,125 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 208,125 is 26000 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 85,738
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 85
List of positive integer factors of 85 that divides 85 without a remainder.
1,5,17,85
Factors of 738
List of positive integer factors of 738 that divides 738 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,41,82,123,246,369,738
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 85,738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 85,738 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 208,125
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/208,738/125 is 1/26000
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 208,125 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(208,125) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(208,125) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(208,125) = ( 208 × 125 ) / 1
LCM(208,125) = 26000 / 1
LCM(208,125) = 26000
