Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 95/278,387/179
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 95,387
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 95,387 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 278,179 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 278,179 is 49762 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 95,387
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 95
List of positive integer factors of 95 that divides 95 without a remainder.
1,5,19,95
Factors of 387
List of positive integer factors of 387 that divides 387 without a remainder.
1,3,9,43,129,387
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 95,387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 95,387 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 278,179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 49762
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/49762
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 95/278,387/179 is 1/49762
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 278,179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(278,179) = ( 278 × 179 ) / 1
LCM(278,179) = 49762 / 1
LCM(278,179) = 49762
