Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 91/572,172/269
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 91,172
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 91,172 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 572,269 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 572,269 is 153868 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 91,172
∴ 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 172
List of positive integer factors of 172 that divides 172 without a remainder.
1,2,4,43,86,172
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 91,172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 91,172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 572,269
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 153868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/153868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 91/572,172/269 is 1/153868
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 572,269 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(572,269) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(572,269) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(572,269) = ( 572 × 269 ) / 1
LCM(572,269) = 153868 / 1
LCM(572,269) = 153868
