Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 21/408,215/981
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 21,215
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 21,215 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 408,981 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 408,981 is 133416 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 21,215
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 21
List of positive integer factors of 21 that divides 21 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21
Factors of 215
List of positive integer factors of 215 that divides 215 without a remainder.
1,5,43,215
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,215 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,215 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 408,981
3 | 408, 981 |
136, 327 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 136 x 327 = 133416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/133416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/408,215/981 is 1/133416
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 408,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(408,981) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(408,981) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(408,981) = ( 408 × 981 ) / 3
LCM(408,981) = 400248 / 3
LCM(408,981) = 133416
