Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1179/271,4323/493
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 1179,4323
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1179,4323 is 393 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 271,493 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 271,493 is 133603 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1179,4323
3 | 1179, 4323 |
131 | 393, 1441 |
3, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 131 = 393

1,3,9,131,393,1179
Factors of 4323
List of positive integer factors of 4323 that divides 4323 without a remainder.
1,3,11,33,131,393,1441,4323
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1179,4323 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1179,4323 is 393.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133603
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 393/133603
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1179/271,4323/493 is 393/133603
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 271,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,493) = ( 271 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(271,493) = 133603 / 1
LCM(271,493) = 133603
