Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 131/3877,973/6120
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 131,973
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 131,973 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 3877,6120 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 3877,6120 is 23727240 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 131,973
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 131
List of positive integer factors of 131 that divides 131 without a remainder.
1,131
Factors of 973
List of positive integer factors of 973 that divides 973 without a remainder.
1,7,139,973
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 131,973 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 131,973 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 3877,6120
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23727240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23727240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 131/3877,973/6120 is 1/23727240
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 3877,6120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3877,6120) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3877,6120) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(3877,6120) = ( 3877 × 6120 ) / 1
LCM(3877,6120) = 23727240 / 1
LCM(3877,6120) = 23727240
