Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 131/53,997/892
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 131,997
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 131,997 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 53,892 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 53,892 is 47276 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 131,997
∴ 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 997
List of positive integer factors of 997 that divides 997 without a remainder.
1,997
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 131,997 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 131,997 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,892
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 131/53,997/892 is 1/47276
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 53,892 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,892) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,892) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,892) = ( 53 × 892 ) / 1
LCM(53,892) = 47276 / 1
LCM(53,892) = 47276
