Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1539/721,1297/943
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 1539,1297
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1539,1297 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 721,943 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 721,943 is 679903 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1539,1297
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 1539
List of positive integer factors of 1539 that divides 1539 without a remainder.
1,3,9,19,27,57,81,171,513,1539
Factors of 1297
List of positive integer factors of 1297 that divides 1297 without a remainder.
1,1297
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1539,1297 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1539,1297 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 679903
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/679903
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1539/721,1297/943 is 1/679903
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 721,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,943) = ( 721 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(721,943) = 679903 / 1
LCM(721,943) = 679903
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
