Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1739/389,2248/721
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 1739,2248
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1739,2248 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 389,721 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 389,721 is 280469 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1739,2248
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 1739
List of positive integer factors of 1739 that divides 1739 without a remainder.
1,37,47,1739
Factors of 2248
List of positive integer factors of 2248 that divides 2248 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,281,562,1124,2248
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1739,2248 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1739,2248 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 389,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 280469
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/280469
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1739/389,2248/721 is 1/280469
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 389,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(389,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(389,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(389,721) = ( 389 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(389,721) = 280469 / 1
LCM(389,721) = 280469
