Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 77/226,59/184
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 77/226,59/184, numerators are 77,59
Denominators are 226,184
The GCF of 77,59 is 1 .
LCM of 226,184 is 20792.
The greatest common factor of 77/226,59/184 = [GCF of 77,59]/[LCM of 226,184]= 1/20792
Therefore, the GCF of 77/226,59/184 is 1/20792.
To find the highest common factor of 77,59, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 77 are 1, 7, 11, 77
The factors of 59 are 1, 59
The HCF of 77,59 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 77,59
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 226,184
2 | 226, 184 |
113, 92 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 113 x 92 = 20792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 77/226,59/184 is 1/20792
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 226,184 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(226,184) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(226,184) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(226,184) = ( 226 × 184 ) / 2
LCM(226,184) = 41584 / 2
LCM(226,184) = 20792
