Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 851/5609,185/7176
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 851,185
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 851,185 is 37 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 5609,7176 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 5609,7176 is 40250184 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 851,185
37 | 851, 185 |
23, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 37 = 37
Factors of 851
List of positive integer factors of 851 that divides 851 without a remainder.
1,23,37,851
Factors of 185
List of positive integer factors of 185 that divides 185 without a remainder.
1,5,37,185
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 851,185 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 851,185 is 37.
Lets's calculate LCM of 5609,7176
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40250184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/40250184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 851/5609,185/7176 is 37/40250184
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 5609,7176 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5609,7176) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5609,7176) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(5609,7176) = ( 5609 × 7176 ) / 1
LCM(5609,7176) = 40250184 / 1
LCM(5609,7176) = 40250184
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
