Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 115/402,8402/461
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 115,8402
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 115,8402 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 402,461 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 402,461 is 185322 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 115,8402
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 115
List of positive integer factors of 115 that divides 115 without a remainder.
1,5,23,115
Factors of 8402
List of positive integer factors of 8402 that divides 8402 without a remainder.
1,2,4201,8402
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 115,8402 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 115,8402 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 402,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 185322
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/185322
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 115/402,8402/461 is 1/185322
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 402,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(402,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(402,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(402,461) = ( 402 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(402,461) = 185322 / 1
LCM(402,461) = 185322
