Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 98/851,273/172
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 98,273
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 98,273 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 851,172 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 851,172 is 146372 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 98,273
7 | 98, 273 |
14, 39 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Factors of 98
List of positive integer factors of 98 that divides 98 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,49,98
Factors of 273
List of positive integer factors of 273 that divides 273 without a remainder.
1,3,7,13,21,39,91,273
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 98,273 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 98,273 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 851,172
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 146372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/146372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/851,273/172 is 7/146372
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 851,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,172) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,172) = ( 851 × 172 ) / 1
LCM(851,172) = 146372 / 1
LCM(851,172) = 146372
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
