Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 141/497,1742/556
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 141,1742
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 141,1742 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 497,556 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 497,556 is 276332 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 141,1742
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 141
List of positive integer factors of 141 that divides 141 without a remainder.
1,3,47,141
Factors of 1742
List of positive integer factors of 1742 that divides 1742 without a remainder.
1,2,13,26,67,134,871,1742
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 141,1742 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 141,1742 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,556
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 276332
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/276332
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 141/497,1742/556 is 1/276332
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 497,556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,556) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,556) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,556) = ( 497 × 556 ) / 1
LCM(497,556) = 276332 / 1
LCM(497,556) = 276332
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
