Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 11/174,45/240
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 11/174,45/240, numerators are 11,45
Denominators are 174,240
The GCF of 11,45 is 1 .
LCM of 174,240 is 6960.
The greatest common factor of 11/174,45/240 = [GCF of 11,45]/[LCM of 174,240]= 1/6960
Therefore, the GCF of 11/174,45/240 is 1/6960.
To find the highest common factor of 11,45, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 11 are 1, 11
The factors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
The HCF of 11,45 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 11,45
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 11
:1,11
Now, list down the factors of 45
:1,3,5,9,15,45
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 11,45 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 11,45 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 174,240
2 | 174, 240 |
3 | 87, 120 |
29, 40 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 29 x 40 = 6960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 11/174,45/240 is 1/6960
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 174,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,240) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(174,240) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(174,240) = ( 174 × 240 ) / 6
LCM(174,240) = 41760 / 6
LCM(174,240) = 6960
