Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 17/801,6338/2964
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 17,6338
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 17,6338 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 801,2964 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 801,2964 is 791388 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,6338
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 17
List of positive integer factors of 17 that divides 17 without a remainder.
1,17
Factors of 6338
List of positive integer factors of 6338 that divides 6338 without a remainder.
1,2,3169,6338
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,6338 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,6338 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 801,2964
3 | 801, 2964 |
267, 988 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 267 x 988 = 791388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/791388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/801,6338/2964 is 1/791388
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 801,2964 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(801,2964) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(801,2964) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(801,2964) = ( 801 × 2964 ) / 3
LCM(801,2964) = 2374164 / 3
LCM(801,2964) = 791388
