Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1971/17,9302/428
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 1971,9302
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1971,9302 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,428 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,428 is 7276 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1971,9302
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 1971
List of positive integer factors of 1971 that divides 1971 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,73,219,657,1971
Factors of 9302
List of positive integer factors of 9302 that divides 9302 without a remainder.
1,2,4651,9302
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1971,9302 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1971,9302 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,428
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1971/17,9302/428 is 1/7276
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 17,428 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,428) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,428) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,428) = ( 17 × 428 ) / 1
LCM(17,428) = 7276 / 1
LCM(17,428) = 7276
