Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 21/540,466/809
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 21,466
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 21,466 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 540,809 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 540,809 is 436860 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 21,466
∴ 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 466
List of positive integer factors of 466 that divides 466 without a remainder.
1,2,233,466
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,466 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,466 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 540,809
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 436860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/436860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/540,466/809 is 1/436860
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 540,809 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(540,809) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(540,809) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(540,809) = ( 540 × 809 ) / 1
LCM(540,809) = 436860 / 1
LCM(540,809) = 436860
