Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 215/359,3973/9691
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 215,3973
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 215,3973 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 359,9691 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 359,9691 is 3479069 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 215,3973
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 215
List of positive integer factors of 215 that divides 215 without a remainder.
1,5,43,215
Factors of 3973
List of positive integer factors of 3973 that divides 3973 without a remainder.
1,29,137,3973
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 215,3973 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 215,3973 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 359,9691
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3479069
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3479069
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 215/359,3973/9691 is 1/3479069
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 359,9691 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,9691) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,9691) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,9691) = ( 359 × 9691 ) / 1
LCM(359,9691) = 3479069 / 1
LCM(359,9691) = 3479069
