Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1731/27,1227/709
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 1731,1227
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1731,1227 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,709 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,709 is 19143 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1731,1227
3 | 1731, 1227 |
577, 409 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 1731
List of positive integer factors of 1731 that divides 1731 without a remainder.
1,3,577,1731
Factors of 1227
List of positive integer factors of 1227 that divides 1227 without a remainder.
1,3,409,1227
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1731,1227 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1731,1227 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,709
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19143
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/19143
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1731/27,1227/709 is 3/19143
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 27,709 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,709) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,709) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,709) = ( 27 × 709 ) / 1
LCM(27,709) = 19143 / 1
LCM(27,709) = 19143
