Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 212/278,507/874
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 212,507
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 212,507 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 278,874 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 278,874 is 121486 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 212,507
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 212

1,2,4,53,106,212
Factors of 507
List of positive integer factors of 507 that divides 507 without a remainder.
1,3,13,39,169,507
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 212,507 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 212,507 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 278,874
2 | 278, 874 |
139, 437 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 139 x 437 = 121486
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/121486
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 212/278,507/874 is 1/121486
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 278,874 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,874) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,874) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(278,874) = ( 278 × 874 ) / 2
LCM(278,874) = 242972 / 2
LCM(278,874) = 121486
