Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 17/433,43/372
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 17/433,43/372, numerators are 17,43
Denominators are 433,372
The GCF of 17,43 is 1 .
LCM of 433,372 is 161076.
The greatest common factor of 17/433,43/372 = [GCF of 17,43]/[LCM of 433,372]= 1/161076
Therefore, the GCF of 17/433,43/372 is 1/161076.
To find the highest common factor of 17,43, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 17 are 1, 17
The factors of 43 are 1, 43
The HCF of 17,43 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,43
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 433,372
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 161076
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/161076
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/433,43/372 is 1/161076
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 433,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(433,372) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(433,372) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(433,372) = ( 433 × 372 ) / 1
LCM(433,372) = 161076 / 1
LCM(433,372) = 161076
