Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 57/372,61/3550
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 57/372,61/3550, numerators are 57,61
Denominators are 372,3550
The GCF of 57,61 is 1 .
LCM of 372,3550 is 660300.
The greatest common factor of 57/372,61/3550 = [GCF of 57,61]/[LCM of 372,3550]= 1/660300
Therefore, the GCF of 57/372,61/3550 is 1/660300.
To find the highest common factor of 57,61, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 57 are 1, 3, 19, 57
The factors of 61 are 1, 61
The HCF of 57,61 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 57,61
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 372,3550
2 | 372, 3550 |
186, 1775 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 186 x 1775 = 660300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/660300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 57/372,61/3550 is 1/660300
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 372,3550 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(372,3550) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(372,3550) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(372,3550) = ( 372 × 3550 ) / 2
LCM(372,3550) = 1320600 / 2
LCM(372,3550) = 660300
