Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 215/47,482/943
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 215,482
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 215,482 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,943 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,943 is 44321 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 215,482
∴ 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 482
List of positive integer factors of 482 that divides 482 without a remainder.
1,2,241,482
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 215,482 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 215,482 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44321
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/44321
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 215/47,482/943 is 1/44321
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 47,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,943) = ( 47 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(47,943) = 44321 / 1
LCM(47,943) = 44321
