Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 131/462,598/401
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 131,598
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 131,598 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 462,401 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 462,401 is 185262 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 131,598
∴ 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 598
List of positive integer factors of 598 that divides 598 without a remainder.
1,2,13,23,26,46,299,598
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 131,598 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 131,598 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 462,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 185262
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/185262
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 131/462,598/401 is 1/185262
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 462,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(462,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(462,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(462,401) = ( 462 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(462,401) = 185262 / 1
LCM(462,401) = 185262
