Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1563/350,5387/421
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 1563,5387
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1563,5387 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 350,421 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 350,421 is 147350 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1563,5387
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 1563
List of positive integer factors of 1563 that divides 1563 without a remainder.
1,3,521,1563
Factors of 5387
List of positive integer factors of 5387 that divides 5387 without a remainder.
1,5387
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1563,5387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1563,5387 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 350,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 147350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/147350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1563/350,5387/421 is 1/147350
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 350,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(350,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(350,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(350,421) = ( 350 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(350,421) = 147350 / 1
LCM(350,421) = 147350
