Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 49/115,73/1162
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 49/115,73/1162, numerators are 49,73
Denominators are 115,1162
The GCF of 49,73 is 1 .
LCM of 115,1162 is 133630.
The greatest common factor of 49/115,73/1162 = [GCF of 49,73]/[LCM of 115,1162]= 1/133630
Therefore, the GCF of 49/115,73/1162 is 1/133630.
To find the highest common factor of 49,73, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 49 are 1, 7, 49
The factors of 73 are 1, 73
The HCF of 49,73 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 49,73
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 115,1162
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133630
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/133630
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/115,73/1162 is 1/133630
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 115,1162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(115,1162) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(115,1162) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(115,1162) = ( 115 × 1162 ) / 1
LCM(115,1162) = 133630 / 1
LCM(115,1162) = 133630
