Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 83/993,17/144
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 83/993,17/144, numerators are 83,17
Denominators are 993,144
The GCF of 83,17 is 1 .
LCM of 993,144 is 47664.
The greatest common factor of 83/993,17/144 = [GCF of 83,17]/[LCM of 993,144]= 1/47664
Therefore, the GCF of 83/993,17/144 is 1/47664.
To find the highest common factor of 83,17, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 83 are 1, 83
The factors of 17 are 1, 17
The HCF of 83,17 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 83,17
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 993,144
3 | 993, 144 |
331, 48 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 331 x 48 = 47664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 83/993,17/144 is 1/47664
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 993,144 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(993,144) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(993,144) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(993,144) = ( 993 × 144 ) / 3
LCM(993,144) = 142992 / 3
LCM(993,144) = 47664
