Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 100/18,250/975
To find the GCF of fractions, we have to find the GCF of numerator numbers and LCM of denominator numbers. Its formula is given by
GCF of Fraction = Greatest Common Factor of Numerator/Least Common Multiple of Denominators
In the fractions 100/18,250/975, numerators are 100,250
Denominators are 18,975
The GCF of 100,250 is 50 .
LCM of 18,975 is 5850.
The greatest common factor of 100/18,250/975 = [GCF of 100,250]/[LCM of 18,975]= 50/5850
Therefore, the GCF of 100/18,250/975 is 50/5850.
To find the highest common factor of 100,250, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 100 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100
The factors of 250 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 125, 250
The HCF of 100,250 is 50.
Lets's calculate GCF of 100,250
2 | 100, 250 |
5 | 50, 125 |
5 | 10, 25 |
2, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 = 50
Now, list down the factors of 100
:1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100
Now, list down the factors of 250
:1,2,5,10,25,50,125,250
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 100,250 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 100,250 is 50.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,975
3 | 18, 975 |
6, 325 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 6 x 325 = 5850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 50/5850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 100/18,250/975 is 50/5850
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 18,975 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,975) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,975) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(18,975) = ( 18 × 975 ) / 3
LCM(18,975) = 17550 / 3
LCM(18,975) = 5850
