Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 103/54,721/157
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 103/54,721/157, numerators are 103,721
Denominators are 54,157
The GCF of 103,721 is 103 .
LCM of 54,157 is 8478.
The greatest common factor of 103/54,721/157 = [GCF of 103,721]/[LCM of 54,157]= 103/8478
Therefore, the GCF of 103/54,721/157 is 103/8478.
To find the highest common factor of 103,721, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 103 are 1, 103
The factors of 721 are 1, 7, 103, 721
The HCF of 103,721 is 103.
Lets's calculate GCF of 103,721
103 | 103, 721 |
1, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 103 = 103
Now, list down the factors of 103
:1,103
Now, list down the factors of 721
:1,7,103,721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 103,721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 103,721 is 103.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8478
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 103/8478
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 103/54,721/157 is 103/8478
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 54,157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(54,157) = ( 54 × 157 ) / 1
LCM(54,157) = 8478 / 1
LCM(54,157) = 8478
