Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 91/482,159/229
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 91,159
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 91,159 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 482,229 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 482,229 is 110378 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 91,159
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 91
List of positive integer factors of 91 that divides 91 without a remainder.
1,7,13,91
Factors of 159
List of positive integer factors of 159 that divides 159 without a remainder.
1,3,53,159
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 91,159 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 91,159 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 482,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 110378
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/110378
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 91/482,159/229 is 1/110378
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 482,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(482,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(482,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(482,229) = ( 482 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(482,229) = 110378 / 1
LCM(482,229) = 110378
