Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 889/50,231/2637
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 889,231
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 889,231 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 50,2637 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 50,2637 is 131850 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 889,231
7 | 889, 231 |
127, 33 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Factors of 889
List of positive integer factors of 889 that divides 889 without a remainder.
1,7,127,889
Factors of 231
List of positive integer factors of 231 that divides 231 without a remainder.
1,3,7,11,21,33,77,231
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 889,231 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 889,231 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,2637
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 131850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/131850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 889/50,231/2637 is 7/131850
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 50,2637 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,2637) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,2637) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(50,2637) = ( 50 × 2637 ) / 1
LCM(50,2637) = 131850 / 1
LCM(50,2637) = 131850
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
