Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 17/958,257/436
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 17,257
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 17,257 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 958,436 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 958,436 is 208844 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,257
∴ 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 257
List of positive integer factors of 257 that divides 257 without a remainder.
1,257
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 958,436
2 | 958, 436 |
479, 218 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 479 x 218 = 208844
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/208844
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/958,257/436 is 1/208844
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 958,436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(958,436) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(958,436) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(958,436) = ( 958 × 436 ) / 2
LCM(958,436) = 417688 / 2
LCM(958,436) = 208844
